Khara Fuentes, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
In 85048 - Nearby to El Mirage.
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.

I work with tweens and teens, 10 and up. I typically utilize Narrative Therapy , Expressive Arts, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Strengths-Based approaches when it comes to minors. Tweens and teens are brilliant and have extraordinary outlooks when interacting with the world around them. Given these qualities, the world can be overwhelming in ways that adults do not have to experience anymore or as often as they used to. This is why I take careful time to build rapport with these clients before diving into heavy therapeutic work. Children need to feel like they have a voice within the therapeutic space in order to communicate and express themselves authentically.

Children need methods tailored to their age. Working with the parents and child we use proven methods to help overcome problems at home, school and with friends. Children and parents learn to manage anxiety, depression, stress and disappointment so that daily situations are successfully addressed. This also helps parents and children stop focusing on the problems and enjoy being a family.

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.

Zack Carter, MS
Online Counselor and Coach for Men
Available for Online Therapy
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.

I love working with children from 2 years of age. I have worked with children for over 20 years and have worked with many children who are twice-gifted as well as special needs.

I use the expressive arts and play with my child clients.

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.
