Child Therapists in Whitehall, PA
The games, books, and puzzles included in my office help to create an atmosphere that is friendly and welcoming to children and adolescents.
Children are a precious aspect of many people's lives. Despite having loving, caring families, even children need a trusting, caring adult with whom they can share their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. My career pursuit and passion in life has always been to help others, particularly children. As a therapist, my role is to assist children and their families in using their inner resources and strengths to help them understand their full potentials. By understanding how thoughts, feelings, and actions are interrelated and by building their coping skills, children can improve their relationships with others, behaviors at home and at school, and overall resilience.

When working with children, I utilize child centered play therapy techniques.
Over the last 35 years I have worked with adults, teens and children living through many difficult circumstances. I offer a safe and nurturing place to explore situations or problems that are causing you distress. Through therapy, you can connect with your inner strengths, identify your needs and priorities and take steps to greater peace and satisfaction. Many of my clients address depression, anxiety, life changes, unresolved issues of the past, relationships and trauma. Some people use therapy not to problem solve but to find ways to have more joy, greater well being or to gain a clear direction towards the future.
