Life is noisy. Everyone has opinions on how you should live your life. There are so many expectations of you. Parents should do this. Your job and spouse have conditions for you. Children should treat their family a way. You are not meeting many of these expectations. You feel ashamed, angry and afraid. This is not how you want to spend your life. You would prefer to feel peace, confidence, acceptance and joy. If only you could have someone to listen to what YOU want and not try to force their views onto you. I can provide you the quiet that you need to gather your thoughts.

Something is not quite right...you notice little things at first and then you get your child checked out because you just can't shake that parental feeling that something is wrong. And you hear the words... your child has Autism. Your world shatters...I know, I have been there not just once, but twice with my son and my daughter. In the Autism world there are acronyms like: SLP, OT, PT, OCD, ADHD,ODD & ABA. There are so many different therapies needed. It can be overwhelming for you, your family and your child. There is hope. There is life. Autism is a journey and we can help with your journey.

Finding a therapist who can listen, offer guidance, and meet your needs is no small task, but an important one. People seek out therapy for a wide variety of reasons but I believe that at the core most people are looking for a place to be heard and figure out how to be their best self. Whether you are a child, teen, or adult, I will use age-appropriate interventions to help guide you to explore your own strengths and engage in self-assessment in order to figure out how to do that in a way that is true and authentic to who you are and who you want to be.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Macon, GA 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 Macon 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.
