Hello! I am Jennifer Hayden, a passionate child, adolescent, and family therapist. I work with kids ages 5 through young adulthood, and have specialization working with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and behavioral challenges. With a background in School Social Work, I am uniquely qualified to help with school challenges and collaborate closely with school staff to help your child thrive academically and socially. In sessions, I integrate art and play, making therapy a fun and meaningful experience for your child.
My approach blends traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and talk therapy interventions with play and art interventions. I believe in utilizing a child's strengths and interests to help them feel safe, connected, and engaged in therapy. I also value parental involvement in the process and am committed to supporting you in your parenting journey.
As a parent of two Autistic children, I understand both the joys and challenges of raising a child with unique needs. Whether you are at the very start of your journey, or are looking for a new approach, I am here to support you. In a safe and nurturing environment, your child can thrive as we work together towards their emotional well-being and growth.
