My education and training specialized in Play/Activity Therapy with children.
I felt it was important to focus my specialization on working with children, because I understand how important it is to build good mental health foundations at a young age. However, I strive to work along the entire lifespan, because I believe that it is important for everyone to experience their own counseling journey at their own time. Some of my experiential training was during the COVID pandemic and provided me greater knowledge on the benefits of telehealth for some clients and the importance of personal connection.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Prosper, 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 Prosper 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.
