Child Therapists in Arizona
I have experience providing treatment to children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 3 through 22) in a variety of settings such as pediatric primary care clinics, community mental health outpatient programs, schools, and juvenile detention halls.
I use evidence-based practices (i.e. Parent Management Training, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to address diverse issues that youth and families face. I have a specialty helping parents address problematic behaviors in both young children and adolescents, such as temper tantrums or breaking curfew.
