Our team

``An umbrella cannot stop the storm, but it can help us stand in the rain``

This is what our story began with: a metaphor describing the therapy process most beautifully and creatively. At Umbrella Lane, we all share a tremendous passion for working with kids, teens, young adults and families. Through evidence-based therapy, we strive to help our clients deal with their emotions and increase coping skills.

During the therapeutic process, we offer all the support young people need to (re)gain their confidence – umbrella – and power to overcome challenges.

Our Umbrella Lane we are here to help our clients through the storms of life by providing a safe, empathetic space to work through emotions and evidence-based therapies to help increase resilience and coping skills.
