Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Saugus, MA.

In working with young children, I utilize play therapy and behavioral interventions to address emotional and behavioral issues. My approach involves creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can express their feelings and experiences through play. I collaborate closely with parents and caregivers to develop effective strategies for supporting the child's development and well-being. By focusing on the child's unique needs and strengths, I aim to promote healthy emotional and social growth.

As a previous middle school counselor, I have had many years of experience working with pre-teens and adolescents. I have helped many children suffering from general anxiety, specific phobias (including but not limited to school phobia, specific food phobias, fear of vomitting, performance anxieties, test anxiety, etc.) I have also helped children with depression, OCD behaviors (including skin picking, nail biting, and hair pulling. Lastly, I have worked with school issues (including ADHD issues, self esteem and confidence and social issues.) Please visit my website for more information: www.Mind-Body-Psychotherapy.com

Children are referred by either Parents, School, Department of children and Family Services, Doctors and the court. first I have to find out why the child has been referred to my private practice. Gather the history the fist session. Some children can seat and talk to therapist other I use play therapy to stimulate conversation. In the course of sessions I also use behavioral modification which will match with the behavioral modification at home with the child's parents.

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.

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?
