I have been an educator and therapist for over a decade, and I have worked with children, teens, and adults in areas such as substance use * anxiety * depression * trauma * blended-families * divorce * grief * self & emotional regulation issues * social skills difficulties * and self-esteem issues.
I CAN DO THIS! These four words seem easy to say but can be difficult for many to believe. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my approach to counseling places you in the driver's seat of your life, giving you the tools necessary for success. Whether a child, teen or adult, we all need to feel capable and courageous. I believe the flaws in how we view ourselves and the world around us can be deconstructed through the evaluation and elimination of false thinking. As your advocate and ally, together WE CAN DO THIS!

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Northlake, TX provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Northlake build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
