Child & Adolescent Therapy
🧠 Child & Adolescent Therapy
Helping young people grow through emotional connection, self-understanding, and supportive care.
Children and teens often struggle to explain what they’re feeling. Their emotions show up as behavior, silence, shutdowns, or outbursts. Whether you’re noticing anxiety, big reactions, social struggles, or changes at school or home, therapy can be a powerful space for your child to be seen, heard, and supported.
As a Licensed Educational Psychologist with two decades of experience across school, clinical, and family settings, I specialize in supporting children and adolescents with:
🌿 Common Areas of Support:
Anxiety, perfectionism, and chronic worry
Emotional regulation and explosive or shutdown responses
Peer difficulties, school refusal, and friendship dynamics
Self-esteem, identity exploration, and belonging
ADHD and executive functioning struggles
Autism-related communication and emotional needs
Stress around family changes, grief, or sibling dynamics
Sensory overload and behavioral dysregulation
Gender identity, neurodivergence, or LGBTQIA+ support
🌿 What Therapy Looks Like
Each session is individualized based on your child’s age, development, strengths, and preferences. Depending on your child’s needs, we may use:
Visual supports, art, play, or collaborative storytelling
Cognitive-behavioral strategies for emotional regulation
Mindfulness and interoceptive awareness tools
Skills-building for confidence, resilience, and problem solving
Narrative or identity-based therapy to explore self-perception
Parent coaching to support co-regulation and consistency
Collaborative school consultation to ensure carryover
🌿 A Relational, Whole-Child Approach
Your child doesn’t need to be “fixed.” Therapy is not about compliance—it’s about connection. In my work with young people, I prioritize trust, agency, and emotional safety. I also provide tools and support to parents and caregivers, so the work continues beyond the therapy hour.
Therapy can be a place where kids and teens come to understand themselves more deeply, find their voice, and build the emotional tools they need to thrive.
