Child Therapy

You’ve tried everything.

Explaining. Reasoning. Pleading. Punishing. But things haven’t gotten better. If anything, they’re worse. The next temper tantrum looms heavy, casting a shadow over the family.

Your work is suffering, too, as you nervously await the next phone call telling you to stop everything and get your child from school. You can visualize your boss’s look of consternation as you grab your things and leave.

At school, you’re met with more faces – the empathic yet accusatory gazes from teachers. Negative thoughts bombard you: They probably think I have no control. They’re wondering if something’s wrong at home. They must think I’m a terrible parent.

But you know you’re not. Your other kids are fine. They do well in school, and they’re not sad and angry all the time.

But this one’s different. Maybe he just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t try, he fights with other kids, doesn’t care about his grades – and you’ve punished yourself endlessly for it.

It’s like he doesn’t care.

You’d do anything to help your child.

You want her to succeed. You want her to know her strengths and weaknesses and become her own person.

Yet, you also want to influence her and keep her from learning lessons the hard way, like you had to do. You want her to benefit from your experience, wisdom, and values.

You want the best for her.

Other parents seem to have such an easy time of it. You’ve seen them ask their kids nicely to help out, and it works. The kids seem happy to help, happy to do well in school, happy to take advice.

You wonder: What’s wrong with my kid? What’s wrong with me?

It’s time for a new approach.

Together.

I’ll work closely with you and your child and get to know the specific challenges they face. Whether your child struggles emotionally, academically, socially – or all the above – we’ll get to the bottom of it and specifically address each situation.

My training and experience have prepared me to assist parents in dealing with the most challenging child behaviors. No matter how difficult life is for your child, working with me will help you support their growth and give them the life you’ve always wanted for them.

See your child thrive.
