It’s no secret that teenagers can be challenging. You want to help them be responsible, kind, hard-working, and respectful. They just want you to leave them alone. Or they have such strong feelings that they can’t seem to control them. Maybe you feel like you’ve tried everything, and nothing is getting through. The great thing about asking someone like me to talk with your son or daughter is that I’m not you. Maybe you even feel like giving up sometimes. Well I love working with “challenging” kids. The ones that parents have all but given up on. Maybe the kid has given up on themselves. This doesn’t have to be their story forever.

Hi, I am Dr. James Fishback, a licensed Clinical Psychologist. I have been working with adults and children in private practice, schools, prisons, outdoor settings, and courts for 33 years. My therapy approach is first to deal with any immediate stress to help set up support for my clients and then work on the cause and resolution of their problems and issues at a pace they select. I think my strengths as a therapist are working with individuals and couples who are ready to work on understanding and acknowledging how each of them contributes to their own issues and to the resolution of them.
