Children and Families
It is my absolute passion to work with children and families, and to be part of the healing journey, the growth, and the joy that unfold through the therapeutic process. I provide assistance in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of child-related psychological concerns, as well as parental guidance and family therapy.
Child Assessment and Treatment
The process usually begins with a parental interview, followed by a thorough emotional assessment that helps identify what is troubling the child both consciously and subconsciously. A feedback session with the parents then follows. Parents greatly appreciate the guidance provided, as it is practical, clear, and easy to implement in everyday life.
This process can also be conducted online.
When working with children, the therapeutic process typically lasts between 20 and 25 sessions. By that stage, I usually achieve the therapeutic goals and observe meaningful emotional and behavioral progress.
