Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Columbia, TN.

I work with children dealing with anxiety, including separation anxiety. I use play therapy to help the child learn about their anxiety and to develop skills to reduce and manage the anxiety. When anxiety or OCD traits start interfering with the child's ability to focus, calm themselves or complete their task, it is time to seek help for them. Children have a positive experience with play therapy and the concerns that come with medication use can be avoided. I see children starting around age 5.

Working with young children requires a gentle and understanding approach. In therapy, I create a nurturing environment where kids can express themselves freely through play and creative activities. Together, we'll address challenges like anxiety, behavior issues, and family transitions. Through age-appropriate techniques, children can develop coping skills and emotional resilience. Let's help your child flourish and build a strong foundation for their future.

I have worked with children and their families for 21 years. I find that my systems thinking cap enables me to think past labels that have been placed on children's behavior all too quickly. Children are complex, and I take a thorough, mindful approach to uncovering what what needs may be unmet. I work often with highly sensitive children, particularly those who are gifted and twice exceptional. I also work with children with Aspergers who are motivated to come to therapy. I meet with parents on a regular basis for updates and feedback. I often use family sessions to work on the parent-child relationship and sibling issues.

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?
