In my practice I work with young children with a variety of difficulties from controlling their anxiety, anger and tantrums, to getting along better with friends and siblings and parents. I also help them with school difficulties that include failing grades, and behavior issues. I work with the child, parent and often the teacher to remember what Erikkson taught that "behind each behavior is a feeling". My goal is to help the child access their feelings, and in a safe place, explore their feelings and behavior while learning tools to help contol them so they can live happy and fulfilled lives.

Matt Lindgren is a male child therapist who offers play therapy & conjoint family play therapy to help children with behavioral problems, child abuse, domestic violence, and foster care. Whenever possible, I attempt to have a parent/caregiver present during play therapy sessions, as an active participant. I find therapy is more effective if children can connect with the important people in their lives during a session as a way of healing. I'm one of a few Oakland therapists trained to use EMDR & Somatic Experiencing interventions with children in play therapy. I've adapted these techniques to use them in play, making play therapy much more powerful.
Lawrence Tunis, Ed.D, LMFT
i have extensive experience working in this area, counseling Severely Disturbed Children for over five years in a special school setting, and then moving over to work with an adult population who have committed crimes and have been incarcerated in the County Jail. I know the techniques to facilitate a person to deal more effectively with angry feelings, so that their relationships can be repaired and blossom and that they begin to get more aliveness and joy in their lives.
Mark Hirschfield
I have a great deal of success with children of all ages due to my extensive training, work experience, and life experience as a parent. I first assess the situation and work with the parents as much as possible. With the child I use the power of play to resolve issues and have many different play materials to achieve this.

I work with young adults, age 13 and older. I really want to get to know who you are in a respectful way. I want to know your individuality, I’ve come to know that you are probably not “the problem,” but you’re just part of a busy world that needs to be navigated and understood from another perspective. I don’t think you need to be fixed or cured, just understood. Let’s try to understand what’s happening in your world. I draw on my life experience with my colorful teenage years and my years of teenager counseling training at an Oakland California high school. I also draw on my experience as a working musician, soccer coach and referee. My wife and I are parents of two teenagers.

I have extensive training and experience with improvisation and expressive arts therapy. I believe a willingness to be improvisational and experiential in therapy with young children is essential to facilitate their growth and healing. Children continue to amaze me in their delight in working through trauma and grief via imaginal/play therapy. If only we "grown-ups" could enter the imaginal realm, where the soul/psyche speaks to us, as readily as our children can and do if they have a guide they can feel safe to be themselves with.
Cliff Crain, MFT
I specialize in helping parents with young children. I started my career as an elementary school teacher and school counselor. Now, as a Marriage Family Therapist, I usually meet with the parents to discuss their concerns and possible interventions.
I have found too many therapists who will treat (work with) the children but not the parents. In many cases, this is unprofessional and a little like teaching children math skills on a sinking ship (with the family system being the ship). I support therapy for children when appropriate.
Call me, so we can explore your specific concerns. (9245-855-1745) Also, visit www.4creativeliving.com to sign up for the BEST PARENTING PRACTICES newsletter.
Kathryn Kinsey, LCSW
My training was originally in child therapy and I spent many years working directly with children in play therapy (sand tray and art therapy) and family treatment. Rather than working directly with the child, I now focus on consultation with caretakers to help them create the changes the child needs to develop fully. This may include family meetings, collaboration with other significant people in the child's life (teachers, doctors, babysitters, extended family members, ministers, Counselors) and referral to appropriate services.
Lois Mark, LCSW, BCD
I have a specialty in children and adolescents, and often work with a co therapist for the best results which includes parents. When included, parents do 90 per cent of the changes that bring about the desire changes in behavior and attitudes being sought for a positive, self esteem. Helping parents become the best role models for their children brings about better home relationships and better academic results.
Melissa Lapides, MA, MFT

Ben Goldstone, LMFT
The teenage years can be tough for you and your child. Teens test limits, pull away and can feel misunderstood as they try to figure out who they are. Parents can feel frustrated, powerless and shut out. The trick for parents is to stay engaged, set limits but still allow your teen the room to take healthy risks.
The intensity of this stage can strain family ties no matter how good family relationships have been in the past. Therapy is a good place to look at identity, sexuality, drugs / alcohol use, disrespect, school problems and build skills to navigate these issues
