Vivian Good, LPC, MA, MS, ACS
Licensed Professional Counselor, Accredited Clinical Supervisor
In 19087 - Nearby to Hockessin.
Children communicate in many ways. I use therapeutic play, art and music to support children's self worth and to encourage secure attachments with nurturing care givers. I provide a safe, trusting holding space for each child's unique identity, and also support families in negotiating the sometimes terrifying shoals of parenting so that all family members feel respected and loved.

Janet Edgette, Psy.D.
Clinical Psychologist
In 19341 - Nearby to Hockessin.
I see children from the age of four years and up, many of whom are referred for behavioral and emotional difficulties such as frequent and long-lasting tantrums, poor emotional regulation, defiance, physical aggression toward parents or siblings, and/or high degrees of anxiety. In these situations I meet with the child and his or her parent(s), so that I can see the interactions and better discern whether this is a strictly behavioral or a developmental problem. Treatment options may include parent coaching, family counseling, individual counseling (for older kids), referral for psychological or neurological testing, and referral to a developmental pediatrician, among others.

In meeting with young children, I believe it is absolutely crucial to take time to develop trust and a relationship in the counseling room for them to benefit from the counseling process. I also collaborate with the parents in providing care that the child needs, as I believe the parents play the most important part in their child's healing and growth.
