Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Chantilly, VA.

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.
