I have experience helping children of all ages, teens, adults, couples and families.
Are you seeking a happier life? Sometimes we realize that our way of handling challenges is just not working. Major loss or life changes are hard. For some of us, the disconnection we experience with loved ones actually prevents us from feeling loved. Maybe you are a parent with a child that struggles, and you’re just not sure what else to do. Therapy can help with personal and relationship challenges. Therapy can give you the tools and strategies to help you live the life you want and and the life you deserve.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents who struggle with depression, anxiety, low self- esteem, mood disorders, Autism, ADHD, ODD, behavioral and cognitive disabilities.
Hi, my name’s Alicia! I believe in meeting people where they are in their lives. I am a huge champion of challenging and empowering youth to be independent, confident, and their own person. I like to create a team environment using a collaborative approach with the youth and family. Together, we can strive to build a solid foundation based on trust, respect, compassion and being open minded. There is nothing more exciting when a child recognizes their potential in themselves and finds their voice! I utilize evidenced based modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and behavior modification strategies.

I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation and other current strategies such as mindfulness with both children, families and individuals to bring about positive changes.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Medford, NJ 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 Medford 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.
