Craig Clark, Ph.D.
Dr. Clark has extensive training and experience as a child psychologist (including eight years as a Director of Child and Family Services). The most effective approach, in most cases, will involve an initial interview with the child and parents to obtain background information, followed by meetsing with the parents regarding parenting strategies. For adolescents, individual therapy can also be a useful.

Heather Browne, PsyD, MA, LMFT
I work with 12 year olds and up. For young teens we use games, pillow fights, exercise, drawing, any medium that would make it more comfortable for the teen to open and share. When beneficial, I bring the parents into the end of the session so that they know what the teen is needing in their assistancxe with that next week. Art and journaling are a significant part of homework to allow the youth to express and reduce their emotional overload.

If your child is having behavioral problems at home or at school, it can be challenging to say the least. If he or she does not follow directives, talks back, has temper tantrums, is verbally or physically aggressive, is defiant in general, or is withdrawn from family and friends, I can help - even if you think you have tried everything and nothing has worked. I will teach you how to utilize positive parenting techniques so that your child’s behavior will improve and your family can experience more enjoyable home life.
Charles R Barr, Ph.D.
Young children get scared and anxious, too. They express it differently from the adults. So you may see stomach aches, headaches, crying, worry, shying away from interactions, being afraid to go to school, or even school refusal. With the help of child friendly language, I use a program to help children 6-12 overcome their fear and anxiety. Excessive fear and anxiety is not just a childhood thing that they will outgrow. If their fear seems more than normal, please take action on their behalf. You may save them years of suffering.
Amie Lowery-Luyties, MFT, MS
For about 7 years I only worked with children in my practice. The rest of my practice has been split working with adults and with kids. With kids, its all about their instinct and comfort. If they sense that the therapist isn't comfortable or experienced with kids, they won't engage in the therapy process.
I use a variety of techniques working with children, depending on their age. For smaller children, art therapy and play therapy can be very successful for a variety of reasons. The main reason is that it takes the focus off of them and they feel more at ease to talk and be open. For older children who can handle "talk therapy", using simpler language can be effective.

Most of us remember the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes." Often Calvin, the little boy, saw his parents as monsters when they lost their cool with him, or as giants when they became obstructions, keeping him from his desires. And, often he would become a dinosaur in an attempt to inflate his sense of self, to feel safe in the face of fear, or to act out his aggression. An in-depth understanding of how a child develops psychological and physiological strategies to cope with powerful underlying emotions and corresponding physiological states they have yet to be able to be aware of, let alone regulate, is paramount in working with young children.

I utilize play therapy methods with young children to help them express their emotions in the way that is normal and appropriate for kids, through play! The kids I treat often have a good time while they work through their emotional problems of fear, anger, or sadness towards someone important in their lives. They can work out their aggressions on clay figures and their fears and sadness through paintings. I believe that the indirect approach of play therapy is developmentally appropriate for young children because they are not yet ready for the "adult" techniques of talk therapy.

One of the ways children improve behavior & make positive change is through play. Some of the ways I help kids make change is through: games, storytelling & artwork.
I set clear expectations, & create a supportive, fun-loving atmosphere. I focus on strengths: I identify & address problems and then focus on what’s right & how to do more of it.
I work with your family, teachers & others to make sure the improvements made are reinforced in all areas of life. Family members are taught tools to ensure your child continues using new, positive behaviors.
I help with: Managing upsetting feelings & tantrums; using effective discipline; managing opposition & aggression; school challenges & more.
