While much of my work is with children, I also provide psychotherapy for the aging population.
I am a psychologist with over thirty years experience treating childhood disorders. My experience has been that early childhood therapy and parent-training are most effective, and emotional healing occurs most readily, when parent and child are seen together. Focus during, and between sessions, involves teaching of play skills and modeling of effective limit setting. For older children, self modulation of behavior is a primary objective. Utilizing these techniques, I have successfully treated anxiety problems (such as selective mutism), depressive symptoms, and developmental disorders (such as Aspergers Syndrome).

I have 26 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, couples and families with behavioral/psychiatric/relational issues.
I recognize the process of selecting a therapist can be daunting especially when one is dealing with mental health, behavioral or relational issues. Although there are many factors involved in this process, I believe the connection between the individual and therapist is the most important element so my first priority is to create a safe non-judgmental environment.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in 11797 provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in 11797 build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
