Child Therapists in Arlington, MA

I am now accepting adult telehealth clients. I have a wait list for in person child clients. I offer a welcoming and secure place for your child to explore issues of anxiety, depression, PTSD and more. I am a Registered play therapist, and Licensed mental health counselor who engages in children 's natural play language to unpack and examine life's challenges. I also use art, sandtray and mindfulness to teach coping tools, and help children and teens understand their internal world. I am available to see children , teens, and adults.

MONDAYS at 4:00 pm slot available - Are you wondering how to support your struggling child ? Maybe you're a struggling young adult. I help children to young adults (ages 2-21) who have behavioral and emotional challenges through evidence-based treatment. Using a collaborative approach, compassion, and empathy, I identify the intervention that best meets your goals. During sessions, I create a friendly, warm, and welcoming atmosphere to help make clients comfortable and get the most out of therapy. By the end of treatment, I have seen clients leaving feeling more empowered, happier, and better equipped to cope with future challenges.

Currently, I am expanding my work to include Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy and am only accepting clients for this modality. I work within Center Psychotherapy, a trauma and dissociation focused group practice. I am an art therapist and licensed mental health counselor and I work with people of all ages who have experienced complex and developmental trauma. I support clients who are managing dissociative responses. I have been providing trauma informed care to individuals and groups in an outpatient setting since 2012.

For over 25 years, I have been providing psychotherapeutic and psychodiagnostic services for children , adolescents and adults. I work collaboratively with children , adolescents, parents and families in psychotherapy, parent consultation and family therapy and specialize in providing neuropsychological and psychological evaluations for children with learning, developmental and psychiatric difficulties and consulting with public and private schools about the needs of such children . I also specialize in providing psychotherapy services to children and families in the context of divorce, including post-divorce parent coordination services.

I am a psychologist in practice for over twenty-five years, working with children , adults, teens, and families. My approach is interpersonal and attachment-oriented, but I also use concepts and techniques from meditation and mindfulness disciplines. I am a general-practice psychologist and like to see a diverse cross-section of clients, though I have worked more specifically with family conflict, and children of divorce, in recent years. Currently I am primarily working with adults and couples in remote teletherapy sessions.

Welcome! I delight in working alongside people of all ages individually, as a family, and with groups. A unique offering is meeting clients outdoors to explore, practice and heal with nature. I also meet online and in-person at my Cambridge office, and I am sometimes available to work with families with young kids at their own home. I draw on my experience as a Kripalu-certified Mindful Outdoor Guide, and training in mindfulness/MBSR, expressive therapies, and council/circlekeeping. A Washington Post article (11/14/20) cites my outdoor therapy work.

Feeling nervous or stressed is natural. When these feelings overwhelm us, we need someone to listen, to validate our concerns, and to help us get to the root of our problems with tools that will inspire hope, and help us regain control of our lives. I use Mindfulness Practices to help people sit with, and tolerate what comes up. I use Self-Compassion Practices to help soothe what ails you, and I often use CBT to organize our plan going forward. This gives you tools that you can use immediately, and strikes a fine balance between listening and responding.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience treating both children and adults. I have combined my initial training in psychoanalytic theory and later training in behavior therapy to achieve a highly effective short-term approach to therapy.

NCYF offers a wide range of clinical options to children , teens, adults, and families. All of our clinical services are informed by evidence-based practices and services are delivered in a way that focuses on compassion and a respect for an individual's past trauma.

I work with children , adolescents, young adults, parents, and families to help overcome a variety of stressors including anxiety, depression, impulse control and executive functioning issues like ADHD/language processing challenges, autism spectrum disorder, blended family struggles, academic challenges (from performance anxiety to IEPs and therapeutic schools), oppositional behaviors, and substance use. My clients describe me as warm, dedicated, and helpful. I tailor my approach to each client or family using an active-listening, strengths-based approach to build a trusting relationship and help clients identify and attain solutions that improve their functioning and relationships.
