Therapists for Children in Memphis, TN
Allow me to be that person to help guide you whether it be with your child, teenager, or even yourself.
When it comes to working with clients, I believe that it can sometimes become difficult for anyone to truly accomplish tough obstacles or identify exactly what it is that is causing their triggers. Even when those triggers are identified, they still may not know how to manage those challenges. Many times they are unable to express themselves or even communicate what is actually going on in that moment. My belief is that a successful outcome in therapy requires awareness, consistency, but most importantly, the courage to ask for help.

I am a mindfulness teacher as well and have cowritten a workbook for children called The Self-Compassion Workbook for Kids.
We love to work with clients who want a holistic approach to care, who believe that the body and mind have the capacity to heal, and who want to be involved in their own transformation through therapy, mindfulness classes and retreats, yoga, and nature based activities. We work with people who want something more from their counseling center, not just "talk therapy" but evidence based treatments offered by compassionate therapists who offer their presence as well as interventions that give clients their life back from depression, anxiety, trauma, burnout, addiction, and chronic pain.

My work centers on helping individuals move toward greater balance, resilience, and self-connection through an integrative approach to mental health. I believe emotional well-being is shaped not only by our thoughts and experiences, but also by the state of our nervous system and our connection to the body and environment. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and capable but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that insight alone has not shifted. Therapy offers a space to slow down, understand those patterns, and develop a more regulated and compassionate relationship with yourself.

I help parents and kids develop a mutually respectful relationship while navigating challenges.

Because I have a lifetime of lived experiences I am compassionate, nonjudgmental, and empathetic. I draw from these experiences, and it informs my counseling.

See More Therapists FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
