Phyllis McColister, MS, LMHC, CAP
Licensed Mental Health Therapist
In 34982 - Nearby to Port St Lucie.
I have experienced much success working with children diagnosed with ADHD, ODD, Depression, Anxiety and Bipolar. Children are unique in that they are easily engaged in therapy once a good therapeutic relationship can be established. Children find it easy to relate to my motherly but firm approach to encouraging changes in their behavior. I have many tools and techniques at my disposal and do not find it beneath me to get down on the floor and meet them where they are. In addition to parental training, I also provide school visits and meetings with staff and teachers to ensure that what the child his learning in therapy is reinforced at home and school.

GRIT Kids exists to allow parents or caregivers to aid their children in the work of self-awareness—at every developmental stage— to better understand themselves and the world around them. Simple behavioral management fails to develop the internal locus of control that is necessary for developing character and self-discipline. Forming a self-identity and learning to live with purpose is a necessary life skill for children to learn in order to live into their fullest self. GRIT Kids Coaches are trained to help you do the work of raising your child with intention so you can see that little person grow into all they are capable of.

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.

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.
