Although I do not typically work directly with young children in therapy, I have experience working with their parents. I can help you as you transition to parenthood through pregnancy or adoption, adjust to life with a newborn, set appropriate limits and boundaries for behavior problems, and communicate more effectively in ways children can understand.

When young children are gripped by life stressors that are beyond their control it can be overwhelming for both the care-givers and the especially the child. Carol Corcoran, LCMFT, LMFT has an awesome designated child therapy room where children can explore their fears and pain through play therapy and find new ways to attach to the ones who love them most. The sooner a child is helped through these struggles the better and more effectively they can move on with their lives in healthy, happy ways.

Are you wondering if your child could benefit from child therapy? Our therapists provide services to children of all ages. Who is Child Therapy For? As parents, we can usually tell when our normal efforts to help our child aren't working. There are times when we could benefit from more ideas for parenting. We want to give our child a chance to improve his or her own natural capacity to adjust and cope with challenges. Child therapy can help a child express normal emotions and is done often in conjunction with meetings with the parent(s). See our website about typical issues addressed with child therapy. Our child therapy services uses play therapy for children under a certain age.

Sometimes the challenges that go with raising children and young adults may seem insurmountable, especially when trying to impart faith-based values in a world that is often in opposition to the things of God. Coupled with your own struggles; it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Our Christian counselors are here to form a partnership with you the parent and Christ to help your young person overcome any struggle they might encounter. Whether you’re dealing with behavior, academic problems, or parent and child conflict, through Christ, our Christian counselors can offer your children and teens reliable, lasting solutions.

Do you have young children and find yourself having a hard time managing your emotions and setting boundaries consistent with your own values and upbringing? This is the challenge of many parents. We are often given well-intentioned parenting techniques that are difficult to implement. This is not because we are not intelligent, but because it is likely that you have not worked through your own emotional issues to be most effective for your child. Through therapy, we can help you face unresolved issues so that you can be a more calm and effective parent.

I see children ages three to eighteen. I specialize in treating both behavioral problems and emotional problems. I treat depression, anxiety, and ADHD. I use play therapy to help children express their feelings which helps to reduce behavioral problems and emotional issues. I also work with parents to improve communication with their children, as well as parenting skills.

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.

While I have some training in play therapy, I prefer to work with children at least 10 years of age. A lot of issues that children face have to do with the family environment, which is why it's important to consider a family therapist to look at the entire family system. As a family therapist, I can help by examining the dynamics and interactions within the entire family system, identifying and addressing underlying issues, promoting healthy communication patterns, and fostering a supportive environment that contributes to the child's overall well-being and development.

Helping young children takes building a collaborative relationship with the parents, and offering parental guidance. We assess the developmental tasks and needs of that child, and sometimes suggest child-centered play therapy or play therapy. We also offer Sand-tray therapy, which allows children to show us their inner worlds in images and motion. EMDR can be helpful with building inner resources and over-coming traumatic experiences, such as medical procedures. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we look at children’s problems in the context of their whole lives. Sometimes helping parents learn to play with and understand the meaning of their children’s actions is the magic.
