Parent-Child Interaction (PCIT) Therapists in Ferndale, MI

Does your child or teen struggle with managing their emotions and behaviors? Do you need help in supporting your child's emotional needs? Does your parent-child relationship need to grow? Does your family need support to cope with a traumatic event or difficult life stressors? I work with children as young as three, neurodiverse clients with ADHD and learning challenges, and clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and anger. I use neurodiversity affirming, person-centered, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed frameworks to provide my clients lasting change.

I have 11 years of experience providing individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and psychological evaluations to children, teens and young adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Anxiety, ADHD and Depression.

Hi, my name is Christy and I am so glad you took a moment to learn a bit more. I created and founded Family Growth Psychology to strengthen families and help parents raise resilient children.

Welcome! I love working with parents through pregnancy, perinatal/postpartum, and early childhood stages. I often hear similar questions, whose needs do I attend to first? Is this behavior from my child typical or something more concerning? Should I talk about the trauma with my child or could that make it worse? Am I doing this parenting thing right? Parenting is incredibly hard and truthfully, there is no single right way to parent. But you don’t have to sit with those thoughts or questions alone; together we can explore the patterns and experiences of your family, ask questions, and identify what you value most as a parent.

Client needs are my FIRST priority. I am a specialist in evidence-based treatments (EBT), which radically improves my client's success rates, increases effectiveness of treatment, and gets results quickly. The majority of my client's report improvements, within the first session: life-functioning (work- home-school-relationships) and report immediate reduction in symptoms. Reducing anxiety/panic, decreasing depression, developing stronger coping strategies to stress and balancing mood dysregulation are my specialty, as symptoms can result from adjustment challenges to sudden life changes: parenthood/divorce/grief/college. We collaborate on thinking traps, tracking triggers, modifying behavior, successful coping skills and strengthening resiliency.

As a clinical psychologist, I use evidence-based practices to empower and assist patients to reach their personalized goals. I work with individuals of all ages who are facing challenges to their well-being due to stress, depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, adjustment issues and life transitions. I provide concrete tools to improve coping skills, self-compassion, and self-acceptance. I have specialized training and extensive experience with children and adolescents, having worked as a psychotherapist and researcher at Children’s Hospital of Michigan for more than 10 years.

We specialize in working with women who struggle with being the Good Girl. A "Good Girl" can be the current role of a child/adolescent or the Inner Child of an adult who filled this role growing up. She has a strong desire to be validated, valued, and approved of by others. She seeks this approval by meeting all expectations to the point of suppressing parts of their identity and emotions, conforming, and/or prioritizing the needs of others over self. The Good Girl is constantly pouring from an empty cup because she has been taught that this is how she will receive love.
