Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Belmont, MA

I am a psychologist in practice for over twenty-five years, working with children, adults, teens, and families. My approach is interpersonal and attachment-oriented, but I also use concepts and techniques from meditation and mindfulness disciplines. I am a general-practice psychologist and like to see a diverse cross-section of clients, though I have worked more specifically with family conflict, and children of divorce, in recent years. Currently I am primarily working with adults and couples in remote teletherapy sessions.

For over 25 years, I have been providing psychotherapeutic and psychodiagnostic services for children, adolescents and adults. I work collaboratively with children, adolescents, parents and families in psychotherapy, parent consultation and family therapy and specialize in providing neuropsychological and psychological evaluations for children with learning, developmental and psychiatric difficulties and consulting with public and private schools about the needs of such children. I also specialize in providing psychotherapy services to children and families in the context of divorce, including post-divorce parent coordination services.

I work with child, teen and adult clients experiencing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral regulation difficulties, and various life stressors. At times, we may face challenges with which we need support to gain greater understanding, to make change, and to grow so that we feel happier, successful, and more closely connected to others. I enjoy working with adults and teens who are looking for support to foster growth within themselves and bring change into their lives. I work collaboratively with parents of young children who are key supports in the process of making progress.

For the past 10+ years I have been in private practice serving kids, adolescents, and adults. I provide neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic assessment and consultation as well as individual and group therapy using a strengths-based approach. Much of my practice focuses on helping Middle School and High School students who are struggling with learning, social, and emotional adjustment through collaboratively identifying the obstacles and challenges they may be facing and helping them to recognize and embrace their qualities and strengths. Evaluation also involves working closely with parents and helping to identify the most appropriate schools, supports, and home strategies.

Restructure your inner thoughts and feelings to create more satisfying relationships, emotional balance, and positive outcomes within family, life, and work. Clients are helped to overcome anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss. Through precise, creative and illuminating feedback, emotional clarity and self-insight are promoted in a secure therapeutic setting. I have extensive experience with individuals and families within the national and international communities and appreciate the many nuances that can arise, be it religious, cultural, varied professional backgrounds, commitments, and family structures.

I offer a co-ed Relationship Group. Feel free to inquire more about how this kind of therapy can be quite useful. I do Individual, Couples, Family, and Group Therapy. I currently facilitate a Bereavement Group which meets at my Brookline office every Saturday from 2-4pm. I also run groups for substance abuse, depression and anxiety. In addition, I have a lot of experience counseling children of all ages. I am a firm believer in strength-based psychotherapy.

I am a psychologist at McLean Hospital and a Lecturer of Psychology at Harvard Medical School. I have worked as a staff psychologist at McLean Hospital’s Anxiety Mastery Program with children and adolescents (and their families) with anxiety disorders in an intensive outpatient setting. Additionally, I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at McLean Hospital’s 3East DBT programs. I earned my PhD at Boston University. I have expertise in treating children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, panic disorder, AR/FID, school avoidance, and borderline personality disorder.

Asking for help can be very difficult. With over 20 years of experience as a Clinical Psychologist working with children, adolescents and adults I appreciate how difficult life can be. I believe in collaboration, working together to help you understand difficulties in depth and find long-lasting relief. People describe me as honest, warm, easy to talk to, and respectful.

For more than 20 years, I have enjoyed helping children, adolescents and young adults overcome their difficulties while also focusing on developing their many strengths. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that is solution focused and clinically proven to be the most effective treatment for children and adolescents who are struggling with Anxiety, Depression, and social difficulties. I have seen an enormous increase in Anxiety and over dependence on social media, vaping, and marijuana use as coping mechanisms and have developed an expertise in treating adolescents who struggle with these issues.

Practicing counseling for over twenty five years has allowed me to develop the skills that result in efficient and permanent change for my clients. Every person is seen as a unique individual, thus solutions for each person will be the optimal ones for their individual situation. Clarity, comfort and the ability to lead a healthy productive life is the heart of my practice. I am compassionate, honest and sensitive to varying needs. Please feel free to talk with me regarding your concerns. I am confident we have the ability and resources to make the changes you desire.

I focus on working with young male clients (ages 9-25), using a blend of therapy + coaching, focusing on peak performance, confidence, healthy relationships, and athletic performance. The problems I most often see clients experiencing are low self-esteem/confidence, ADHD, anxiety and depression. Riser+Tread aims to reach as many young guys as possible, helping them “Step Up + Move Forward.” My work over the last few years as a therapist and coach has mainly centered around guys ages 8-25. Riser+Tread has one mission, to help young guys by providing helpful information online for free, as well as offering paid services.

Offering Parenting Consultations ONLY (sorry, I am not taking on new, individual clients). For 15 years, I've specialized in working with kids and their families, but I rarely have openings and often have to turn away parents who need help. I know how frustrating it is for parents to find therapists with openings, and with this in mind, I now am offering a series of three consultation sessions for parents to gain further insight into the roots of what their child is experiencing, and how parents can help. While my consultations are not a replacement for therapy, parents have said our meetings are extremely helpful.

Thanks for stopping by. I am a bilingual developmental psychologist, a clinical social worker and an avid yogi for nearly twenty years. I hold a BC in psychology from Venezuela, a master degrees in Early Intervention from Northeastern University and a masters in Clinical Social Work from Simmons University. I have worked with children and adults with mental health and developmental challenges in a variety of setting and bring my expertise in the field as well as my deep compassion. I truly love helping others in any capacity. I pull from many different frameworks including EMDR, CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT and mindfulness.

Do you wish you had someone to speak with who will understand your thoughts and feelings without judgement. Someone who will challenge you to become a healthier version of yourself, while being gentle with your emotions. Someone who will help you understand and alleviate your pain. Someone who will meet you where you are and support your growth.I am this person. I understand that growth takes time. I believe we all can grow into healthier, happier versions of ourselves, while acknowledging the pain and experiences that raised us. We are complex and deserve to be supported by people who can understand our complexities.
