Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Farmington, NY

Ever feel at a loss on how to help your child face life's challenges? The problems that children, teens, and young adults face can be too overwhelming to manage. As parents, we want our children to grow and develop into healthy adults, and along the way to enjoy life, like themselves, and build friendships. It is a painful experience to watch as depression and anxiety derail your child on their journey forward in life. Children and teens face stressors and challenges just the same as adults, however they may not yet possess the skills needed to process and cope in a healthy and productive manner.

Life has a way of throwing challenges at us when we least expect it. At times we can easily overcome the barriers but for the other times we may need to reach out for support. Therapy can offer a safe, non-judgmental place to help us decrease emotional stress, better understand our past, and help us to develop tools to move forward. I'm a licensed Creative Arts Therapist with 6 years of clinical experience and specialize in the treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety and stress, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity and self-exploration. I strive to be genuine, developing positive relationships so I can be a partner in your healing process.

I bring over twenty-five years of experience to my therapy practice, and have helped clients achieve life-changing results.
