Play therapy informs and assists treatment with children and families.
Sometimes life gets overwhelming and positive feelings disappear. Life transitions, troubled relationships, and loss affect our sense of well-being. I use a holistic approach that can bring clarity to issues that may be holding you back, and you begin to get a handle on those things that keep you stuck. Our sense of self significantly affects how we feel; dealing with self-esteem issues can have a positive impact in overall functioning and success in life. I work to help you find your growing edge toward a sense of self-fulfillment and wholeness.

Building a profile of your child's uniqueness should not be determined by the simplest of efforts. For 30-years I have specialized in diagnostic evaluation, educational therapy and parenting consultation and in doing so I have designed a comprehensive method for richly describing, organizing and addressing children's social/emotional, behavioral and learning strengths and weaknesses. For each and every child and family I work with my solitary goal is to develop a deeper understanding or your child's unique social, emotional, behavioral and learning profile. I work closely with parents in collaboration before, during and beyond the evaluation.

My office provides a safe space for children, adolescents and adults to work through everyday challenges, big and small adjustments as well as more serious trauma.
I can imagine during these crazy times you are just trying acclimate to all the changes that are occurring around you. New and different work and school schedules, parenting and teaching at the same time, giving so much to everyone, and things are just a bit out of control. You used to have it all together but this year things may have fallen apart a little, gotten a bit harder, just more complicated. You are exhausted and you don't think you can do it anymore. You're so tired. It's time for a change.

I want you to know you’re not “crazy”, you're not a "bad parent", and your child is not a "lost cause.
Sometimes life sucks - Maybe right now, it’s one of those times. Most people feel stuck repeating the same painful patterns - Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you know you’d be happier if you made changes but it feels safer and more comfortable to stay the same. Stuck in negativity and feeling out of control, you may feel like life is out of control. Since you're reading this, there is likely a fire inside you that wants to take control.

You are courageous and brave. You may try to push the comment away, but it's true. I know because you're here. You have that inner voice telling you awful things that you'd never voice to another person, causing you to lose sleep, confidence, and peace. Or maybe you're here for your child or loved one who is hurting, and you are watching the hurt shape them into someone you don't recognize anymore. Although everything appears perfect, you have been weathering an unspoken storm alone. You are a survivor, and you may have experienced worse in the past, but is that really a reason you should have to continue to endure?

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Orlando, FL 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, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Orlando 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.
