Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in College Park, GA.

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.

Children experience many different stages of life but may not be able to express their feeling due to fear, not feeling comfortable, respect or not wanting to anger loved ones. Many times children can internalise their feelings. This can cause them to act up in their adolescent, teen and adult years. Unpacking feelings in a safe space and addressing them can help them heal, process and thrive.

Are you concerned about the actions and behaviors of your son or daughter? Often negative behavior on the part of a child can be a symptom of something else that is bothering them. Children often don't have the skills or resources to communicate what they are feeling or experiencing. In my work with children and teenagers, I utilize various methods of art therapy to allow them to express themselves through artistic forms of expression and creativity. I give them a safe place to come and share things they are afraid to talk about and express things they don't know how to put words to.

I am board certified by The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in the sub-specialty of child and adolescent psychiatry. Therefore, I am well qualified to treat the delicate needs of young children in the counseling process. The type of therapy I use heavily depends on the age of the child. Play therapy is often used for young children (5 and under), and children-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, mindfulness and relaxation techniques are used for older children (6 and older). Like any other health condition, early intervention is key to helping to prevent a more detrimental outcome. Please don't wait another day. We are here to help.

I try to create a space which is welcoming and kid-friendly. Children communicate best through play and it's through play therapy that children's emotions are fully expressed. Whether parents are going through a divorce or a child is simply having difficulty relating to friends in school, the therapeutic setting is helpful for giving kids the tools that they need to feel good about themselves and to succeed in life.
