Having a child who is struggling academically, emotionally or socially can be disheartening. We all want the best for our children. Finding the right psychologist to evaluate and treat your child is crucial. I understand a parent's desire to find a warm and caring clinician who can not only help their child feel safe to express themselves, but who can teach them to develop strategies to manage difficult emotions. I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy and assessment services to children and adolescents. I firmly believe in the importance of working closely with both parent and child in order to achieve success.
IGP offers a unique approach to treatment. We integrate therapy, the arts and mentorship into our individual and group sessions. IGP believes when therapy is combined with an activity a child enjoys the results can be dramatic. Whether it is writing a song about pain or creating art that represents hope, IGP focuses on healing and empowerment.
It is not uncommon for children and adolescents to feel unmotivated and resistant to therapy. IGP offers the opportunity for youth to express themselves in a safe way. When traditional talk therapy fails, alternative modalities may be necessary. Using professional mentors as part of our treatment team, we look to inspire youth and motivate change.

Acoustic Youth

Acoustic Youth is a fifteen-week group therapy modality that combines music and mentoring, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to empower teens. Each group member is encouraged to write and record a song about something in their life they would like to gain mastery over. The group's mission is for teenagers to develop resiliency through a fun and creative process. Group members find their inner voice through a variety of musical exercises and group discussions, all of which culminate in an empowering and healing experience.
