My website

I offer therapy in a warm, supportive, and confidential environment where your child feels safe to express themselves without fear of judgment. My goal is to create a space where both children and parents can share concerns openly, allowing us to work together to understand and manage life's challenges. Specializing in children ages 4 to 12, I partner with families to develop practical coping strategies, process emotions, and reach personal goals. With experience in individual, group, and family therapy, I use a personalized, eclectic approach to help each child thrive and build resilience.

I am currently integrating Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) into my practice to support children and teens who have experienced trauma, such as abuse, assault, domestic violence, personal injury, or traumatic grief. This evidence-based treatment offers a compassionate approach to help young clients heal and move forward.

If you have any questions about treatment or how I can support your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I am currently accepting self-pay clients and can provide a detailed superbill for insurance reimbursement. Your child's well-being is my priority, and I'm here to help guide you through the process.

Lego Intervention Social Skills Group

Hosted by

Eric R Kuessner

Playing with LEGO® in a therapy setting promotes social interaction, turn-taking skills, sharing, collaborative problem-solving and the learning of concepts. It can be used to target goals around social skills, language and motor skills. By using a commonly adored tool like LEGO® it capitalises on its existing motivation and supports self-esteem by allowing the participants to demonstrate their skills in a social situation. It also sets up a positive opportunity for guided social problem-solving to help develop social skills that can then be used in other situations. This group is for ages 5 to 11 years of ages.
