Child Therapists in Boca Raton, FL
I will not see your child unless at the conclusion of our conversation I agree that your child actually needs to be seen and that given your description, I am the best child psychologist I know for the work.
This summer marks 37 years that I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with children and families in Boca Raton and the surrounding areas. Having grown up in Boston and trained at Boston University and Massachusetts General Hospital I need to disclose I am still a Red Sox fan. My expertise lies in rendering therapy to children and families and consulting with parents to help them make sense of and deal with the myriad of challenges that our children present. I do not conduct conduct Psychological/Educational Evaluations so if necessary I will refer families to our local experts.

For families going through divorce, I have written a children's book about coping with divorce, titled "Dash's Broken Heart".
The decision to enter therapy is a courageous choice that can help empower people and help them achieve positive changes. As a New York trained psychologist, I pride myself on being an experienced, knowledgeable, nonjudgemental therapist, and offer a personalized approach tailored to each individual. I currently see adults of all ages for issues such as anxiety, depression, career changes, life transitions, marital issues,unsatisfying relationships, parenting issues, divorce, and loss or grief.

I offer child, adolescent, adult, couples, and family counseling that integrates multiple treatment modalities.
Are you currently struggling with your spouse? It just does not feel like it used to. Maybe you feel like you are growing apart rather than growing together. Perhaps you find yourself having the same arguments "over and over again." I can help to facilitate better communication, resolve past resentments, and create quality time and shared meaning. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed as a parent and just can't seem to do or say the right thing to help your child. Maybe your child or teen is shutting you out and you feel so helpless.

Small children aged 3 to 8 typically do not participate in family therapy because the vast majority of therapists consider such children too young to articulate their feelings or understand complex patterns of behavior.
Tool Box for Life and Relational Skills When clients graduate from treatment, they take with them a box full of "tools", such as effective anger management techniques, avoiding confrontations that lead to negative expressions of anger, resolving conflict peacefully and quietly, making the right decisions in every aspect of life, and perseverance to always build skills against life's problems and apply them consistently. Skill development is relational. No one lives in isolation; everyone maintains many types of relationships. Treatment provides chances to improve all relationships by communicating effectively, listening without making assumptions, and avoiding miscommunication that brings on anger and/or conflict.
