Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Montclair, VA.

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.

Young children often can get a bad rap when it comes to counseling. Often times people fail to realize how smart and observant children are as well as underestimate a child's ability to discover their worth and potential. My approach in children's counseling revolves primarily around working with the child and learning about who they are and what they want from life. However since children do not exist in a vacuum, caregiver sessions are also an important part of my therapeutic approach so care givers can discover new strategies to better support their child.

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?
