Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Severn, MD.

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.

Through biofeedback and other progressive modalities, we can interrupt that persistent OCD tendency, anxiety, or agitation, and restore sleep to the tired, angry, miserable child. Some things are best done by treating the neurons directly, and not through play therapy. We will work collaboratively with your regular play or talk therapist to ensure all integrates well in the child's care.

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?

I strive to make my work with young children fun and engaging. I enjoy working closely with parents and caregivers to ensure that we are supporting each child in every possible way. It is equally as important to me to ensure that parents know that they are not alone. Parenting is hard and it doesn't come with a manual. I believe that each family system is doing the best they can with the resources they have. My approach involves identifying small changes that make a big difference, which allows families the benefit of seeing improvement quickly. Whether it's a behavior concern, sleep training, or anxiety, I take a collaborative approach to helping kids and families thrive.

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.

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.
