Counseling In New Jersey: Child Psychologist

My practice, Grace Behavioral Health, offers therapy for children as young as six years old. Children don't have the development or skills to put their feelings into words. Often, their emotions come out as behaviors and may cause disruption at home and at school. We can help you get to the root cause of your child's struggles, and provide tools both for your child and for you to help things go better. Our child therapist specializes in supporting children through transitions, including divorce.

My philosophy of therapy and change is that change comes from within. As a therapist, I ask a great deal in asking an individual to change, as change is an incredibly difficult task for everyone. The journey of change requires both the client and myself to work collaboratively throughout this journey. It is for this reason that the rapport between the client and myself is critical. I aim to provide all my clients with the space to explore their underlying feelings, thoughts, and behaviors so that they can engage in change.

I'm the expert on psychology, in general, but you are the expert on your child and your family. No one has logged more hours or years with your kid! If we work together, we'll put our heads together and collaborate to figure out how to help your particular child move forward at this particular time. Getting help now could enable your child to develop a strong foundation and avoid years of suffering. When kids learn how to understand, cope with, and communicate about their own and others' emotions, they are better equipped to build strong and caring relationships.
