I have been working with children, adolescents, and young adults in school and outpatient settings since 2007. Currently, I primarily work with children through middle adulthood in therapy and also provide psychological assessment for all ages. My adolescent and adult therapy clients are seeking help with ongoing mood issues or intrusive thoughts. They want to gain perspective and learn skills to reduce out of proportion emotional responses. Younger clients may struggle with mood dysregulation or behavioral issues and their parents want effective tools to use in daily life and perspective on their child's behavior.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Michigan 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 Michigan 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.
