About the Smart Love Therapeutic Approach

Smart Love Family Services uses an evidence-informed approach called Inner Humanism™ (IH). Our highly skilled therapists can help children and adolescents increase their own healthy motives to be happier and develop age-appropriate social, emotional and cognitive skills. Because of the chronic nature and sometimes severe symptoms associated with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Smart Love has a long-term commitment to helping children fully reach meaningful treatment goals and sustain progress.
