Behavioral Issues Therapists in Savage, MN

Working with children/youth who have social and emotional deficits is my passion. As a systems therapist I am committed to assisting each child/youth while also working with the family to handle difficulties that come with having a child with unique needs. My clients may have autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or other mood/impulse control concerns which cause behavioral and relationship difficulties. Treatment plans are based on concepts of "Social Thinking" as well as behavioral and play-based interventions, CBT and Family Therapy approaches to maximize the learning and retention of skills across multiple settings.

Dr. Laura Ehlert, PsyD, LP specializes in working with children who display developmental issues such as ADHD, poor emotion regulation, impulsivity, processing/learning deficits, social skills delays and poor behavior management. Clients and families interested in understanding how their child's brain and sensory systems work to create these behavioral and emotional issues will find my approach to be very effective and supportive to everyone in the family system or school environment.
