Child/Teen Therapy

Are you wondering if child or teen therapy is the right choice for your family? Is your child or teen grappling with issues like depression, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, school performance concerns, social shyness, or technology addiction? As a parent, do you find yourself unsure about how to navigate these challenges and seeking guidance for a way forward?

I understand the concerns and challenges that parents face in today's fast-paced and demanding world. It's a stressful time for families, and the struggle to maintain healthy connections becomes increasingly difficult. I'm here to help.

About Me:

With over 30 years of experience, I've been dedicated to working with children, teens, and parents, fostering self-understanding, improved communication, and family togetherness. I provide one-on-one sessions for children, teens, and parents, and I also offer family counseling and occasional group sessions for those who want to share their experiences. Together, we can develop awareness, mutual understanding, and find a path towards healing.

Child and Teen Therapy: Making a Difference:

Child and teen therapy can be a transformative process. I focus on empowering individuals and families to independently modify behaviors, leading to more satisfying and fulfilling lives. It's an investment in the long-term health and well-being of your family, preventing unnecessary future emotional trauma. While every child and family is unique, my approach, refined over three decades of psychotherapy, has proven successful in guiding families towards positive outcomes.

Concerns About Cost and Effectiveness:

If you're concerned about the cost and unsure about the impact of therapy, rest assured that I prioritize long-term solutions. Child and adolescent therapy is not just an intervention; it's a strategy to prevent years of potential emotional distress. It's an investment in your family's health and happiness.

Is Therapy Really Necessary?

If you're still unsure whether therapy is necessary for your child or teen, consider these circumstances:

1. Is your child's behavior endangering herself or others?

2. Is your child reacting poorly to your reactions?

3. Does your child's behavior disrupt daily family functioning?

4. Is your relationship or marriage strained due to your child's behavior?

5. Are you out of answers and unsure what to do?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, child therapy may be the right solution. If you're uncertain, don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here to discuss your concerns and explore the potential benefits of therapy for your family.

Genetic Factors and Medication:

Even if your child's problems are influenced by genetic factors and require medication, therapy remains a valuable tool. While medications may address symptoms, our work together aims to resolve behavioral challenges at their root. Therapy can be an effective complement or even a substitute for medication in some cases, leading to healthy modifications, improved self-esteem, and enhanced communication.
