Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
Executive functioning skills are the foundation for success in school, relationships, and everyday life. My child and adolescent therapy services focus on helping children and teens ages 6-17 strengthen these essential skills, including organization, time management, emotional regulation, and self-control. These abilities are critical for setting goals, managing responsibilities, and making positive choices. Through personalized sessions and evidence-based strategies, I work with young clients to build the tools they need to overcome challenges, improve academic and social success, and increase their confidence. I also provide parenting support, equipping parents with practical strategies to foster these skills at home and better understand their child?s needs. Together, we empower children, teens, and their families to thrive now and in the future.
Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist
Therapy is not one size fits all! Choosing the right therapist for your child or adolescent is an important decision that can make a big difference in their therapeutic journey. Look for someone who specializes in working with children and teens, understands their unique developmental needs, and creates a safe, welcoming space for them to express themselves. It?s also important to find a therapist whose approach aligns with your family?s values and goals. Don?t hesitate to ask questions about their experience, methods, and how they involve parents in the process. A strong connection and sense of trust between your child and their therapist are key to achieving meaningful progress.
Why Going to Therapy Does Not Mean You are Weak or Flawed
Going to therapy doesn?t mean there?s something ?wrong? with your child or that you?re a ?bad parent.? In fact, seeking support shows strength and a commitment to your child?s well-being. Therapy is a safe and supportive space where children and families can develop tools to navigate life?s challenges, improve communication, and build stronger relationships. It?s not about fixing problems but about fostering growth, resilience, and understanding. Every family can benefit from extra support at times, and therapy is a positive step toward helping your child thrive.
