I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, and relationship difficulties in children, adolescents, and adults. I also have expertise in substance use and addiction (e.g, alcohol, cocaine, opioids, porn, social media, marijuana) and focus on understanding and treating the underlying disorders (e.g., anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder) that drive the addiction. Many of my clients seek treatment because they are having difficulty connecting socially, managing busy daily commitments, asserting needs to others, and becoming motivated to accomplish goals.

Are you moody and unhappy when you wish you weren't? Do you sometimes feel stress and anxiety about not being more connected to others? Are you having relationship problems? Or, are you lonely? Do you feel that it is hard to be authentic and still succeed? Do you have a conflict between a background to which you feel attached and the person you want to become? Is it hard to integrate your diverse self into today's social communities? My multidisciplinary expertise can help you deeply understand yourself while getting your growth and changes up and running.

Improving our lives or relationships, or helping our children do so, may seem like a daunting challenge, yet we know when change is needed. Fortunately, we all have within us a natural capacity for growth and well-being that is best facilitated in the context of relationships that nurture the deepest parts of your being and awaken your strengths. Over the past 20 years I have gained a deep appreciation for the complexity of human experience and the pain and difficulties involved in living with emotional or relational problems in our lives or in our children's lives.

Looking for a therapist for you, your child, or your family can be challenging. It can be hard to find someone who is the right fit.

Looking for the right therapist is not easy . I can help your children- family ( All ages all stages) feel more content. Every child- teen -college age- has a unique story to tell that must heard for emotional well being to emerge . As a child and family psychotherapist, I incorporate play-talk therapy, feelings games and new techniques for quicker easier solutions. I enjoy working with clients on becoming Behavior-Feelings Detectives, investigating the hidden feelings and emotional needs hiding underneath behaviors. Listening with EMPATHY- Compassion plus learning new skills really works. Please reach out if this resonates!

'If not now, when?" I work with couples, adults, and adolescents on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and creative blocks. I work together with you to understand the history of patterns of thinking and behavior that are no longer working for you and to gain insight into why they have developed and how to change them. We will work on how to create a more gratifying and better functioning present and future. I also draw on my many years of experience as an artist -working in film, theater, and dance and I approach the therapeutic experience as a creative collaboration.

Dr. Meade is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders. Dr. Meade works with adolescents and young adults, and provides diagnostic assessments and outpatient individual therapy.

I work with you in a personal, engaged manner, wondering together about sources of anxiety and pain, beginning wherever you are most comfortable. Working with dreams, memories, trauma past and present, and whatever comes to mind, my goal is to help you come to know and value your strengths and what is uniquely you, and--what gets in your way. I am experienced and comfortable working on problems of mood/depression/anxiety, difficulties surrounding infertility, the many challenges of relationships, hurdles at all levels of work and school life, attentional/ADD problems, parenting issues from birth onward, and parenting of multiples.

There is no simple formula for helping people but there are necessary elements: an atmosphere of safety and respect, and openess to and curiosity about the uniqueness of each person. Therapy is essentially a series of conversations in which you and I create meaningful solutions to problems and difficulties in living. The opportunity provided by therapy for greater self awareness allows people to stop self defeating behavior and destructive patterns of living and to get on with making the best use of their time and talents.

As a therapist, I love working with children: learning about their families, their strengths, challenges, the problems which are worrying them and affecting their behavior. In our sessions we play and create things together, as play is the medium of communication for children in therapy, equivalent to adults' verbal engagement. Through talk and play, we develop an authentic emotional connection, in order to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Trust and collaboration are essential to the work of therapy for children as well as adults.

As a Clinical Psychologist for 30 years, I continue to be enriched, challenged and personally deepened by my work. My therapeutic style is active, engaged and empathetic.

As Clinical Director of the Center for Loss and Renewal, I have an expertise in guiding clients on issues relating to loss and grief. Alongside this specialty I am gratified by the many couples I work with on relationship enhancement issues as well as the coaching work for business success.

I believe children and parents can have a happy time together. All children as they grow and all parents as they go through parenting encounter kinks in their development. I like to help children and adolescents learn to listen to and express their feelings directly and to help parents learn how to listen and communicate better with their children. With over 25 years of experience working individually with children and parents, in play group therapy and in parenting groups, I know how to use the strengths of each, child and parent, to promote better understanding of themselves and each other.

I work with all ages, but specialize in children, adolescents and young adults. My approach is eclectic, grounded in a psychodynamic orientation that utilizes a variety of tools, tailored to individual needs. My clients and I work toward goals in a non-judgmental atmosphere of empathy and understanding. Some issues I have been able to help people with are: relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, life transitions, self esteem, parenting, childhood issues such as separation anxiety, behavior and school problems, ADD, adoption, and divorce. I also have experience with artists and the issues they face. Therapy makes positive change!

Sometimes life can feel incredibly overwhelming and you just don’t know where to turn. Recognizing the need to ask for help is one incredible strength you already possess! I believe that you are the expert in your life and experiences. As your therapist, I will accompany you on your journey through self-discovery, healing, and change. Through examining your emotions, thoughts and beliefs, I will support your self-exploration and help you achieve your fullest potential.
