Child Therapists in Bridgeville, PA
I understand as a parent it is difficult to acknowledge that your child is struggling in ways in you do not know how to help.
Is your child or teen or young adult struggling with anger, anxiety, trauma or depression? Are you losing hope and unsure where to turn to help them? I have worked with children, teens, and adults for the past 20 years working to empower young people with coping skills and practical strategies to manage strong emotions. I use a variety of evidence based strategies including mindfulness and cognitve-behavioral therapy to help young people find a sense of inner calm. Happiness and peace are possible for your child and for you. I see school aged children ages 8 and up as well as adults for individual counseling.

I have been working to strengthen children, adults, and families for over twenty years.
We all find ourselves "stuck" sometimes, thinking the same thoughts, repeating the same behaviors while hoping for a different outcome. I am here to help you achieve the change you desire. I believe counseling is a collaborative process where you will be able to express your feelings, process core issues, and make a plan for the future. I provide a comfortable environment with an approach that is warm, non-judgmental, and conversational.

Often children communicate through play, so I meet them at their level and engage in their communication style through play-based activities.
When little people are overwhelmed by BIG feelings it is our job to share our calm, not join their chaos. -L.R. Knost. For many kids and teens, even mentioning beginning counseling can feel scary and overwhelming, being asked to share their deepest thoughts and feelings and behavioral challenges with a complete stranger. I recognize this challenge and approach my sessions with patience and understanding. Just as every child and their reasons for beginning this process are unique and diverse, so is my treatment style. I focus on developing coping skills, frustration management, and processing and exploring emotions and experiences.

If this resonates with you & your child, my goal will be to help you to better manage these really tough behaviors & help you both grow to enjoy one another's company more fully through the use of PCIT (Parent Child Interaction Therapy) and/or CPP ( Child Parent Psychotherapy).
"It's not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, & to make your Happiness a priority. It's necessary." So often we put off the pursuit of therapy because of our busy schedules. If you, you & your partner and/or you & your child know that the time has come to care for yourselves, I'd be happy to support your doing so while working around school/work schedules, rush hour traffic, and after school activities. Like all of us, life and how I approach it shifted when the pandemic occurred. One positive takeaway for me has been being able to be a part of life-changing therapy in a way I hadn’t yet experienced, Telehealth.
