Many parents worry whether their child is adjusting well to changes or recent stressors. Does your child appear sad or anxious or worries that something bad will happen? Or perhaps your child often displays an irritable mood and you're feeling unsatisfied with your relationship with your child. Utilizing the strengths of your family and child, we will work together to customize treatment goals that may include: Improve parent/child relationship; Improve ability to express feelings; Healthy channeling of anger; Improve academic performance; Decrease depression & anxiety, Heal wounds and internal conflicts; Enhance interpersonal relationships; Elevate self-awareness & self-esteem; Improve developmental growth & Increase coping skills.

Even when everything's going great, kids can be exhausting. But when your child's continually melting down or you are more often than not feeling unsure of how to parent, exhausting barely begins to describe it. Drained, depleted is more like it. You know your child is struggling with something. Whether it's from worry, family changes, friend trouble, following the rules, intense anger, big emotions, or sullenness, but you're not sure how to help. That's when it makes sense to reach out for additional support. Together, we can create a positive trajectory for long-term well-being and happiness for your family.

Welcome!

I work to build a safe and trusting relationship through which change can be supported. Working with children and their caregiver(s), we create a plan of care with clear goals and treatment interventions based on evidence based practice models. At the core of my work is the child's sense of self and well-being. Together, we will work to better understand your child's inner world and how to best support them.

Hello, and thanks for visiting my page. I'm a clinical psychologist available for individual therapy with children, adolescents, and adults who are seeking support in dealing with anxiety, life stressors, or emotional struggles. I also conduct comprehensive evaluations for children and adolescents to provide answers and recommendations for ADHD, learning problems, and social-emotional issues. Additionally, I am able to provide support for children from toddlerhood through adolescence, through parent consultation, to help families understand how best to manage challenging behaviors and foster loving relationships.

The "unknown" of counseling may be a bit scary, especially if it is for your child. What will they talk about? Do they really need to "go see somebody?" What's the parking situation like? Let's be honest; we all need someone at one point or another, especially in our younger years of life as a child. Parenting can be HARD, and so can being a kid! I am ready to partner with you and your child to support your goals and overall wellness. I work primarily with pediatrics; ages 2-17, in the areas of school-based problems, self-esteem, executive functioning, ADHD, anxiety, friendship issues, family dynamics, and so forth.

It makes sense that you may be feeling overwhelmed. The competing priorities of family/life/career can have your head spinning.If you feel like your most important relationships are suffering, reaching out to a therapist is the first step. I love to treat families as a whole, allowing for all of the different perspectives to weave together to form a much more complex picture of what is happening. However, I also believe that you can affect change in a relationship system through individual work.

Is everyday a parenting struggle and everything a battle? Considering medication but would love an alternative that works? I offer two evidenced-based therapies, one for parents/ one for children. I can help you navigate through the most difficult of parenting struggles. Mild behavioral issues such as potty training and following directions to more severe such as, ADHD, school issues, anxiety, and aggression/talking back. This short-term program, (generally 3-8) achieves success quickly! The techniques help parents stay consistent and calm which also decreases marital discord and family chaos. Call today and begin increasing cooperation and compliance, and enjoy family time again.

Everyone struggles with a variety of issues throughout their lives. It is my goal to help people through these struggles and come out with a better understanding of themselves and improve on their ability to cope in the future. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working in hospitals, schools, mental health clinics and private practice.

Our therapeutic approach at Strategic Solutions utilizes a brief, problem solving model that focuses on understanding and treating problems within their intimate context. The goal of therapy is to resolve the presenting problem while fostering supportive, functional relationships. Family problems are embedded in relationship patterns, which can become unproductive and perpetuate, rather than solve problems. Our approach is strength-based and outcome oriented. The focus of therapy is understanding the client's goals for change and then working together to solve those problems directly.

I do child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy, psychoanalysis and parent work. I see children of all ages, using play therapy with younger children. My approach is insight oriented, in depth work. I have been in practice for over 30 years and have had extensive clinical experience with children, adolescents and adults in all settings: inpatient, partial hospital, residential and outpatient. I am comfortable working with all sorts of issues and/or diagnoses of any age. If you are interested, set up a consultation and we can talk about what you want from therapy and how I can help you or your child.

I am a clinician in both Connecticut and New York. I had extensive clinical experience working as a court appointed Guardian ad Litem, previously working in Therapeutic Foster Care and as a Psychotherapist. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Political Science from Central Connecticut State University and earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Saint Joseph. I have worked in various professional settings through direct practice and in social advocacy. I have worked alongside state non-profits in child welfare, as well as school base counseling and outpatient clinics.

You have a problem - These dreaded words are gut wrenching to hear. I can help. For decades, I have provided best in class eating disorder treatment at outpatient, intensive outpatient, PHP and RTC levels of care. I perform eating disorder assessments, treatment planning and execution of care for anorexia, bulimia nervosa, AFRID, and binge eating disorder (BED.) I also coach parents on refeeding children with EDO. I help clients to find body neutrality, so they can live rich and meaningful lives in the skin they're in. Self-acceptance IS possible, and you don't have to do this alone.

My specialization is with children from early childhood through adolescence with emphasis on behavior management, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), developmental and learning differences, ADHD and Executive Functioning, anxiety, depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). My practice focuses on developing outcome-based solutions with your child coming first. This means teaching them how to: identify potential problems, create tools and strategies to empower themselves, and show them how to develop healthy coping skills for successful outcomes. I concentrate on developing better thinking patterns, coping skills, and resiliency in the face of challenges so your child can alleviate his/her concerns before they become insurmountable.

I help individuals, couples, and families dealing with a broad range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, childhood trauma, life transitions, infertility and grief.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings many years of experience working with adults, children and adolescents and their families.

My background also includes extensive training and expertise in working with individuals who suffer from eating disorders. My many years of experience as a clinician and program director of both residential and intensive outpatient eating disorder treatment has provided me with the skill set and knowledge to effectively and skillfully treat individuals with all types of eating disorders.
