Child & Adolescent Therapy

Drawing on extensive training and experience in working with children and teens, I offer individual treatment starting at age 4 and family therapy for younger clients. I practice play therapy with children and talk therapy with teens, offering above all, a place where they can be themselves and feel accepted. Through treatment kids can find ways to express emotions, advocate for their needs and engage in behaviors that facilitate their goals.

Childhood is the ideal time for mental health intervention because young people are more flexible to make changes and can adjust their trajectory before entering adulthood. Effective child therapy often requires family involvement, so I work closely with parents, guiding them toward the best ways to support their children.

People come to me to work through:

  • Depression

  • Anxiety and Specific Fears

  • Issues at school

  • Challenges in friendships

  • Processing changes in family structure like divorce or separation

  • Support for ADHD and Autism (ASD)

  • Executive function

  • Twice exceptional children

  • Acting out behaviors and anger

  • LGBTQIA+ youth - coming out, gender identity, sexuality…

  • Transitional age youth

  • Adjustment to middle school, high school and college

Sessions are scheduled for 50 minutes with fees ranging from $300. I provide reduced fees through a sliding scale under some circumstances if needed. Please discuss your needs when scheduling your first appointment.
