Couples Therapy:
Relationships can bring us great joy and great heartbreak. We treat couples who are experiencing distress along their journey together.
Of course, therapy isn't just for couples who are facing difficult times. Couples therapy is a great option for young relationships (at any age), for those who want to renew their spark, and as a means to enhance communication.
Divorce Counseling:
When one or both of you have decided to end the relationship, you may find it useful to meet with one of our experienced therapists to minimize the inevitable pain and distress, particularly when you have children together. We can help you navigate the difficult road ahead.

Five Levels of Support
- A pediatric-trained therapist will be available at every program to ensure the safety and success of each child by implementing modifications for our athletes, overseeing volunteers, and coordinating with parents.
- A coach or instructor will also be at every program who develops the curriculum and then provides the direction and support to enable our athletes to function at their highest level.
- Staff members are available at each program to assist athletes, parents, and volunteers.
- Volunteers are consistent, passionate, and motivated to help participants achieve success.
- Parents and families get to pull up a chair and cheer from the sidelines! Of course, we also welcome any input that will ensure the success of your child.
Celebrations: While we believe doing is more important than winning, every program concludes with an end-of-season finale that celebrates each child’s successes big or small. These confidence-boosting finales focus the spotlight on Kinetic Kids as we create spirit tunnels, give awards, and act like paparazzi in front of their family and friends.
