It's hard to find a good therapist who specializes in children and teens and can also see adults and couples, which is why we're so excited to have Lane join our expanding team. She will be working at FPS part time until June 1, 2021 at which point she'll become available on a full time basis. For Spring 2021, Lane is available for late afternoon and evening appointments.
