Child Therapists in 02445

I see therapy as a safe place where growth, change, and healing can happen within the context of a trusting relationship. I work with children , adolescents, college students and adults, using a collaborative approach to address and work through challenges including anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship difficulties, learning differences, and other issues. I use an eclectic approach, and my clients have described me as warm, open and respectful. In addition to my private practice, I am a therapist at The Brookline Center for Community Mental Health.

Change is hard, but less so with help. I hope I can be your guide through the change process. I am a clinical psychologist trained in CBT. I have a faculty appointment at Harvard Medical School and am on staff in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. I run a private practice on Sunday mornings and have intermittent availability during the rest of the week. I am comfortable providing treatment in an individual or family context, whichever better fits your needs. I am results driven, but also warm and sensitive.

I am a psychotherapist with over 10 years of clinical experience working with children and adolescents aged 6-18 to overcome personal obstacles and build resilience. I strive to create a welcoming and nurturing environment for my clients to give them a safe space for emotional growth and positive change. I have a Certificate in Traumatic Stress Studies and have developed a range of specialized techniques for the treatment of ADHD, self-control issues, aggression, anxiety disorders, low self-esteem, mood difficulties, attachment disorders and PTSD. My cross-cultural experience supports my work with diverse populations

Hello! I am a clinical psychologist and I work with children , adolescents and adults. Within the context of a warm, supportive relationship, I focus on teaching skills that help clients to develop a sense of confidence in effectively managing their emotions and behavior. My treatment approach is primarily cognitive behavioral but I tailor the treatment to the needs of each client with an emphasis on finding the most evidence-based approach. I am collaborative and offer a lot of encouragement, humor and warmth.

My clients range in age from preschool to young adulthood. My approach tends to be cognitive-behavioral and I actively invole the parents in the treatment and provide parental coaching/training when needed. I treat a variety of issues including ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, School Adjustment/ Functioning including learning disabilities and I currently have several clients who fall within the Autism Spectrum. I am also a licensed school psychologist and I am able to help parents understand the special education and IEP process. I work closely with school personnel around eudcational programming.

Would you like things to work better in your life, to feel happier and more in control? Some difficulties stem from situational and environmental factors, others are rooted in developmental issues, personality traits, mood disorders or psychosis. Life can be challenging for children and adults of all ages. Learn to identify your personal life values, thoughts and feelings. Focus on current functioning and develop improved mind-body relaxation, error-free thinking and emotion management, reflection and communication. Explore early attachments and present family and relationship dynamics. Address developmental and learning related concerns. I support medication when appropriate and welcomed by you.

I offer home-based life coaching for teens, 20-somethings, athletes, adults, and their families in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and beyond. I work with clients at home in a positive, flexible, proactive way, emphasizing measurable, practical, and sustainable change. My approach is relaxed, non-hierarchical, and results-oriented. Although I also work with adults, I primarily help teens and 20-somethings, from kids who lack confidence and/are overly stressed or anxious to those with athletic/academic performance issues or who are really acting out, having issues with anger, substance abuse, school refusal and the like.

I provide individual therapy for children , teens, and adults. I provide a safe, private, space to unpack what is going on for you; to help you find tools to improve your life, find compassion for yourself, and develop deeper connections with those around you. My strength lies in my ability to listen well, and to give equal weight to the heart breaking truths you harbor and to your ability to find joy, strength, fun, and connection. I am seeking motivated, goal oriented clients who appreciate a mix of reflection and accountability. I accept BCBS insurance and private pay.

In a grief-averse society that says to "get over" or "move on" from the death of a loved one, in a medical system that pathologizes bereavement as a disorder as early as one year after someone's death, in social circles that force toxic positivity, platitudes, and unsolicited advice on grieving folks, I long to offer a different presence. I come alongside traumatically bereaved children and families to offer meaningful and non-judgmental support in the wake of an unexpected or violent death, or after a prolonged illness. Death and trauma generate complex grief responses that deserve to be heard, honored, explored, and integrated.

I have over 15 years of experience treating children under 10 and their families. I understand the intense worry and uncertainty that can come when a child is struggling—as well as the stress, exhaustion, and even guilt that results from grappling with complex parenting issues—and I’m here to help. Behavioral and emotional problems that crop up in the first decade of life are often very treatable, and taking action early can help put your child on a better path for the future. My goal is to help clients target specific problems, experience rapid, sustainable, meaningful improvement, and move forward with confidence, skill, and joy.

Newton Play Therapy is passionate about children 's mental health. Our mission is to provide developmentally appropriate therapeutic interventions to children of all ages. To meet this end, we are committed to the continuous education and training of our clinicians in the evidence based practice of Play Therapy.

The demands of school, work, family and social relationships can be overwhelming for people of all ages. Societal pressures may add to our stress. We all need support as we navigate the different stages of our lives. We can get stuck, feel very low, or become increasingly anxious along the way. Children and adolescents may express or cope with these difficult emotions with troubling behavior. Parents often feel helpless or lost trying to support their children . Individual and family psychotherapy can help us better understand and manage our emotions, increase our sense of worth and control, and live a more fulfilling life.

For over two decades I have been helping clients to move from a place of worry and despair to one of strength, confidence, and joy. In this work together we face many different kinds of challenges including relationship and career issues, parenting, family conflict, loss, low self-esteem, procrastination, anxiety, and depression.

I currently have openings! I have availability Thursday mornings & afternoons, which will expand to Friday mornings in May 2023. I am an independently licensed social worker who has been providing therapy to children , adolescents, and families in outpatient, residential, and inpatient settings since 2010. I currently work at the CEDAR Clinic, a program of the Brookline Center for Community Mental Health, and have a small private practice providing individual therapy to neurotypical and neurodivergent tweens, adolescents and adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, psychosis-risk symptoms, trauma, and grief.

I will be facilitating a co-ed Relationship Group one night during the week. There is no obligation to commit, though I am looking for people who like to come weekly. I do Individual, Couples, Family, and Group Therapy. I am currently forming a Bereavement Group which will meet in my Brookline office. I am also organizing a Group for substance abuse and recovery issues. In addition, I have a lot of experience counseling children of all ages. I am a firm believer in strength-based psychotherapy.
