Therapy can be scary because it takes honesty & the courage to open up about hard things or what is happening with your child. It can also be incredibly helpful for you or your child. We all need help at times. This is not a weakness & does not mean anything is wrong with you, or your child. I work with individual clients (5 & up), providing empathy & a safe space without judgment. I also offer assessments for 4 year olds & may take them on, on a case by case basis. I believe in meeting the client where they are at. Some people need me to match their pace as they embrace change & others need me to push them to find motivation.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Ohio provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Ohio build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
