Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Ahwatukee, AZ.

I provide child therapy in Gilbert, AZ. I have worked with children who experience behavioral and emotional difficulties for multiple years. I have experience working with children in areas such as trauma, depression, anxiety, social skills, and ADHD. My approach is to help the child feel safe and comfortable while working to process through difficult experiences. I help children increase coping skills and learn to manage negative feelings more effectively. I include caregivers in my work with children, as I feel they are the most important person in the child’s life. I provide guidance and support so that the caregiver is able to help the child reach treatment goals.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn’t be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.

In her work with young children Khara utilizes her 4.5lb trained therapy dog, named Tino. When children don't want to come to therapy, they often want to go to see Tino. This helps children feel more comfortable faster than would be possible without Tino's help. This allows Khara to "jump right in" to why your child is coming to therapy. Khara uses Tino to teach children important skills like listening, following directions, and most important, setting healthy boundaries.

Although it’s a hard pill to swallow, I’ve found that young children often display anxiety, disobedience, and other problem-behaviors because they are absorbing chaos within the home... often because the parents haven’t dealt with their own issues. This isn’t a judgment. Parenting is tough. But if you’re looking for someone to “fix” your kid, I’m not your guy. However, if you’re open to parent coaching, and willing to work on individual healing and/or strengthening your marriage, I’m here to help. At Lion Counseling, our mission is to help you escape the cages that hold you back and become the lion God created you to be.
