Do your young child's challenges seem beyond typical? Do emotional & behavioral problems dominate the day? Has time-out frayed your family? If you need tools for yourself and coping skills for your child, you'll find this blend in my care. My ChildSightTools® model reduces behavior problems, grows child coping skills, repairs family bonds and restores parenting joy. I delight in finding developmentally-friendly ways to help young children (ages 3-7) have "better days" at home, school or daycare. To solve the unique puzzle of each child, parents & I collaborate to uncover the child beneath the behavior problems.

Sometimes your young child has an outburst, and you find it hard to manage. Or, maybe you find it difficult for your child to follow directions or get along with others. Perhaps your child has been through something traumatic and stressful, and you’re just not sure how to help them along their healing process. Or maybe your child is having a hard time listening because they are anxious or easily upset. They could be a child who doesn’t know what to do with their big feelings and need a little extra help coping. As Licensed Professional Counselor, I am here to help you find peace and balance.

Please note, at this time we are not accepting new clients. We apologize for any inconvenience. Parenting can be difficult. This is especially true when your child is experiencing behavioral problems. Whether it’s problems within the parent -child relationship, academics, peer relationships, or difficulty managing emotions, let me help. Young children are unique in their experience of the world and the challenges they face. My experience in the Birth to Five field as well as working with individuals of all ages has provided me the opportunity to help families from many different backgrounds with a variety of problems.

Concerned about your marriage? Have conflicting feelings? Afraid to be taken advantage of in marriage or a divorce? Seek to protect yourself? Post-divorce and ready to build a new life? I practice at the intersection of law and psychology. I help you identify and assess the legal, emotional, familial, spiritual, and financial aspects of conflict during and after marriage, chart a path forward and build a new life. We gain insight and establish support, whether strengthening marriage, proceeding to divorce, or post-divorce and struggling with co- parenting . You are not alone. I will help you live the good life you deserve.

You don't have to do this alone. I have 20 years of experience dealing with issues affecting young children and their caregivers. I provide psychological assessment and treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorders (children and adults), parent /child relationship issues, abuse/trauma/neglect, and attachment/foster-care/adoption issues. All family members can receive assessment and treatment, regardless of age, in order to improve individual and family functioning, and the experience of joy. I also assess children in their school or daycare setting, and provide assistance with IEP/IFSP meetings. I use both relational and behavioral strategies for treatment.

Often when we imagine the process of pregnancy and having a baby, we picture moments of happiness and joy. But pregnancy, birth, and parenting are like the rest of life. There is often joy, but there can be tough times too. Sometimes pregnancy and postparttum depression, anxiety and self-doubt become overwhelming. The unexpected happens, things don't go as planned, relationships change, or grief and loss occurs. If you are having concerns about becoming pregnant, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, pregnancy loss, or being a new parent , you are not alone. Please know it's not your fault, you can get help, and you can feel better.

I enjoy working with all populations and celebrating the diversity in each of our own experiences. Most recently I have been working with children who have parents who are incarcerated and children who have experience divorced or currently in a blended family. I believe in a strength based approach that creates success, happiness, confidence and success in all areas of a child's life while helping adults identify awareness of self, and how to interact with the world around them, find balance and strong emotional intelligence and mental health then soar to new heights and rise to their full potential!

What’s the dream You have for yourself and your child? What does that connection look like? Do you want something different for your child than what you had? Do you want to hit the “reset button” in the chapter of parenting ? This is all possible. I believe children hold the answers in healing ourselves. They reflect back to us what needs to be seen and the work we need to do. Healing the relationship with yourself and past hurts can help you create a better relationship with your child. Meaning, the struggles you have with your child can decrease and parenting can be more fun!

I also enjoy working with parents to help foster parenting skills and help parents manage behavioral concerns and effectively co- parent their children.

Hello, I am Dr. Krystina Gordon. I would like to invite you to review my profile and then call or email my office to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation with me. This is a great way for you to get a feel for my personality, experience, and approach to your goals. As a clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience, I am confident that you will find that I am easy to talk to, compassionate, nonjudgemental, and knowledgeable about how to help you or your child/teen to make consistent, positive changes.

I have worked with kids and their families for over 25 years. My favorite children and teens are strong willed, capable, and smart (academic and/or common sense). I see kids ranging from 3 year old to college students. Some of the most common issues that I work with are ADD/ADHD, Oppositional/Defiant, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar Disorders. Other general issues are poor social skills, difficulty with frustration, poor communication skills and parent -child conflict. Because so many of the families that I see are struggling with how get along easily, I prefer to include parents whenever possible.

Currently accepting telehealth clients. Whether you feel like you’re struggling with handling your emotions, experiencing contention, have feelings of being stuck, or if you just want to see change in your life, a fulfilling path is possible for you. My goal is to make therapy a safe place where closeness, trust, joy, fulfillment, and authenticity can be built in the way you need it.

Are you a parent that wants help? I am passionate about helping parents to parent in a more effective way. Whether you are a soon to be parent or your child is already an adult, perhaps you are longing for a mutually joyful, open relationship with your child. Or perhaps you are noticing lengthy lectures and carrot or stick methods are not cutting it anymore. I am passionate about supporting parents with more effective and long lasting ways to nurture healthy relationships and the best in themselves and their children.
