Preteen Therapists in 11202

Life can be painful and complicated at times, and so often we react instead of respond to stress. Whether you are an adult, teen, or child, emotions can be complex to navigate and difficult to manage alone. My goal is to support you through difficult moments, help you build awareness and understanding for your behaviors and feelings, gain clarity in confusing times, better understand your relationships, and ultimately help you see life in clearer terms. As a collaborator on this journey, I aim to provide a nurturing and safe environment so that you may explore your internal nature and grow in all the ways you desire.

This private therapy practice treats individuals of various ages with a wide range of psychological conditions and life challenges.

I believe the purpose of psychotherapy is to ease emotional and relationship difficulties and increase satisfaction in life. Clients come to therapy with diverse needs, but typically they are seeking help either to deal with immediate life crises or to address ongoing challenges. In my practice these have included issues of anxiety and depression; bereavement; effects of trauma; parenting and relationship concerns; and varied behavior problems. I see both children and adults and have a subspecialty in couples counseling. For psychotherapeutic techniques to be successful they must be adapted to the client's unique needs and circumstances.

I am a Licensed Psychologist, with approximately 13 years of experience providing comprehensive assessment and psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults presenting mild to severe mental health outcomes. I also offer college-prep consultation to adolescence and adults wanting to pursue a college degree. College prep consultation includes a copy of my workbook, The Steps I Took: How my Journey to Success Can Help Guide Your Success. See www.tx4creatingchange.com for book products.

My approach is unique, just like each person I meet! Together, we navigate your current and past feelings and circumstances. You will discover how your thoughts and perspectives form and how this guides your behaviors and relationships with yourself and others. You will develop a new or deeper understanding of how you process your experiences. We explore new tools to lean on and clearer understandings of feeling better on your journey and improving your quality of life.

If you are struggling with unhelpful thought patterns or feel consumed by your emotions, you don't have to do so alone. I am here to work with you and explore these emotions and foster a deeper connection with yourself. My goal is to provide a safe space to unravel overwhelming feelings and unveil their underlying cause. We will work on recognizing your inherent ability to connect within yourself as well as the world around you.

Therapy is a powerful tool that can bring about positive change and growth in your life and relationships. I offer a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and work towards finding solutions and healing. I offer a non-judgmental and confidential space where we can explore your concerns and work towards your self-identified goals. If you're ready to take steps forward and embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing I can support, you through that process.

My mission is to create a safe and empowering space for individuals to discover their own strengths and potential through genuine connection and deep listening. As a therapist integrating CBT and person–centered practices, I empower individuals to break free from self-limiting beliefs and navigate life’s challenges with increased self-awareness, compassion, and practical tools.

Jamie Downie LMSW, DBT, CBT, REBT is an experienced mental health professional determined to create a welcoming and productive environment to foster growth for people of all ages and walks of life. Are you feeling like you want to make changes in your life, yet are unsure of how to get there? Do you feel down, anxious, or repetitive patterns of behavior are getting in your way? You may be in need of a safe place to process past trauma, support in understanding and changing unhealthy patterns, healthy coping skills, and/or a gentle push toward your goals. Seeking out therapy can be a great and empowering first step to creating change

You're entering a space where you can be unapologetically you! That means you're free to laugh, cry, scream, and vent. I will be with you through each stage of emotion and I am going to challenge you to be in that moment, to feel, and to understand your emotions. I believe that healing begins when a client shows their authentic sense without worrying about being judged for what they are thinking or feeling. I create an atmosphere where the client understands that it is ok to not be ok but I also push the client to independently develop their own mental resilience and identify what they need to push forward through their struggles.

Couples & Families, Adults & Teens. Seeking therapy takes courage and I’m here to support you whether you’re taking the first step or if you’re looking to get back into therapy. I provide psychotherapy to pre-teens, teens and adults in a safe and supportive environment. I specialize in treating a range of challenges like anxiety, stress, depression, grief, low self-esteem, communication issues, parenting and relationship difficulties. Additionally, I help adolescents find appropriate ways to express their feelings, increase their independence, emotional maturity and reduce behavioral problems in the home and/or school environment.

I provide child, adolescent and adult psychotherapy for a variety of issues, including anxiety, low self esteem, trauma, adoption and loss. With these kinds of issues, play and art therapy interventions are helpful for children and adolescents. For clients struggling with anxiety and developmental issues such as Autism, ADHD, a more didactic, cognitive-behavioral strategy oriented approach can be used. My work with adults is psychodynamically based with use of strategies from dialectical and cognitive therapies as warranted. Another important component of my practice is neuropsychological assessment for learning, attention, social and emotional issues in children, adolescents and adults.
