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.

Angela's approach with children involves play and art to address any emotional or behavioral problems. Young children do not have the words to describe what's wrong and usually cannot explain why they feel the way they do, or act the way they do. They do not fully understand what's going on and may not yet have learned effective ways to deal with worry, fears, sadness, anger, and stress. Angela's gentle approach with children assists with the healthy expression of thoughts and feelings, and learning and practice of new coping and social skills. She also works with the parents and family members to help support the child at home and continue healthy habits.

My specialty is in working with children because I believe that children have the capacity for insight and tremendous growth. For a child, depression and anxiety are presented differently, and sometimes misconstrued as defiance or stubbornness. Children also have needs for healthy attachment with their caregivers, and when that is not there, children can develop various sorts of symptoms such as difficulty separating from parents, or being overly friendly with strangers. In counseling, I seek to provide deeper understanding of children, as well as to work with children in fostering their self-expression and growing their confidence.

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.

The book, "Raising Healthy Children and Teenagers" by Dr. Robert Puff
Raising Healthy Children and Teenagers is one of the most important things that we will ever do in life. How they turn out, how life goes for them, whether they experience joy and happiness because of their inner strength and resources, or struggle with life because of inadequate coping skills is largely in our hands. In this book we discuss three main areas that are crucial to raising healthy children: how you treat your children, what you expose your children to, and what you model for them. These three areas directly affect the overall well-being, behavior, and mental health of your children as well as pave the way for th....

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.
Stuart Kaplowitz, MFT
Everyone experiences pain / sadness at some point. Even we as adults though sometimes cannot explain what we are experiencing and exactly why. For our children, they will be less likely to verbalize what is happening for them and more likely to act it out. Our children need to be given the tools to best express their wants and needs, as well as whatever emotions and thoughts they are experiencing. Let's give them a voice and teach them the healthy ways.

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.
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.
Shaelyn Pham, Ph.D.
Children and adolescents struggling with emotional issues can be very difficult for the parents and family as a whole. Dr. Pham utilizes play therapy (i.e, arts, sandtray) to help the child express his/her emotions through the art of playing at their own pace to explore and resolve any emotional issues. She will also assist you to have better communication and to be able to understand your child's struggles while you're adjusting to new parenting roles with the changes in your child.
