Preteen Therapists in 21204

Hello, I have had the privilege of working with adolescents and adults in both the school setting and individually in therapy for almost 20 years. I believe therapy is best practiced in a collaborative relationship, where the goal is improving one's quality of life through addressing symptoms of distress and developing goals for change. I provide evidence-based treatment that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I provide a safe and supportive space to best allow for developing new coping strategies and achieving your goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, also trained in school psychology. I specialize in the neurocognitive assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with attention deficit disorders (ADHD), learning disabilities, and emotional and/or behavioral issues. I also have experience working with gifted and talented as well as twice exceptional (i.e., gifted students with learning challenges) students. I am the founder and director of Jones Falls Psych Associates, where we emphasize the use of evidence-based intervention strategies to reduce symptoms and improve overall quality of life.

Is your child or adolescent having trouble enjoying activities? Does your child worry a lot? Do you need help with parenting your strong-willed child? Is your child's behavior causing problems at home or school? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I encourage you to call me.
