RTX provides compassionate, personalized support to children, families, and caregivers through counseling/psychotherapy, comprehensive assessments, consultation services, and educational guidance.

Explore our website to learn more about evidence‑based Play Therapy approaches and the benefits they offer to children, parents, and adults of all ages. Working with a Registered Play Therapist™—especially one who is also a Certified AutPlay Therapy© Provider—offers unique advantages for neurodivergent clients, including those with Autism, ADHD, OCD, Tourette’s, and learning or developmental differences.

​

RTX also provides comprehensive evaluations for children needing diagnostic clarity related to ADHD, Autism, learning differences, cognitive or developmental concerns, or behavioral challenges. Assessment scheduling availability and report turnaround times are significantly shorter than the 18–24 month waitlists often seen in large clinics and metropolitan facilities. Contact us to discuss your goals and how an assessment is tailored to meet your child’s needs, rather than developed as a "standard battery of tests" as is done in most testing centers and school systems.
