Child Therapists in West Boylston, MA
Is your child struggling in school? Do you think you may have an un-diagnosed learning disability? Are you concerned about inattention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity for you or your child? Have you been in therapy for a long time, but are struggling to see results and improvement? A psychological assessment can help you or your child get the support you need.
I am a licensed psychologist specializing in psychological testing and assessment for clients of all ages. These evaluations can: assess for ADHD or executive functioning deficits; help clients understand their learning style and cognitive strengths and weaknesses; evaluate for the presence of a learning disability; and/or gain a better understanding of mental health, social, and emotional symptoms and functioning. As part of these evaluations, I generate a comprehensive report that provides a clear diagnosis, and offers recommendations for the classroom, the workplace, and/or ongoing treatment.

Welcome and thank you for reading further. Since even prior to the Pandemic, it seems life has become much more stressful for children, adolescents and adults but mental health awareness has improved. If you or your child are struggling with anxiety/social anxiety, AD(H)D, OCD, depression, significant loss/bereavement, have experienced trauma, feeling pressure to be perfect, feeling disconnected in your relationships, or in general feeling you've lost perspective of where you want to or are supposed to be at this point in your life, I would like to be of assistance. I have been successfully treating all of these conditions and more.

After more than ten years of work with traumatized children and adolescents in the state's child welfare system and now currently working in the adoption and foster care community, I have always felt a strong connection to families and and have worked hard to demonstrate my cultural competency.
Current openings with clinicians credentialed with BCBS. The ideal client who I work with therapeutically is motivated and desires change. This client values the therapeutic relationship while also working toward success quickly. This client should be excited, even if a little bit anxious, about gaining valuable insight into themselves and their place in their life. As far as couples/marriage counseling is concerned, couples should be motivated to stay together and not simply stop off at therapy before divorce. Couples should be willing to work hard and look at themselves as individuals as well as a family.

*New clients, please use email for fastest reply.* Therapy should begin with establishing a trusting and therapeutic relationship, in a relaxing environment, where clients of all ages will feel comfortable, safe & understood (my dog Taffy is my 'co-therapist'!). Although everyone struggles at times during our lives, most of us still reeling from the past few years alone.
