It can be the most heart wrenching experience to watch your child struggle through tough emotions and mental health issues. Many parents can feel they are at a loss on how to help their child. In meeting with children, I have found that creating a predictable, safe space and relationship is crucial in them benefitting from therapy. I also collaborate with the parents in providing care that the child needs, as I believe the parents play the most important part in their child's healing and growth.
Child Therapist
Janet Edgette, Psy.D.
Clinical Psychologist
In 19341 - Nearby to Wilmington.
I see children from the age of four years and up, many of whom are referred for behavioral and emotional difficulties such as frequent and long-lasting tantrums, poor emotional regulation, defiance, physical aggression toward parents or siblings, and/or high degrees of anxiety. In these situations I meet with the child and his or her parent(s), so that I can see the interactions and better discern whether this is a strictly behavioral or a developmental problem. Treatment options may include parent coaching, family counseling, individual counseling (for older kids), referral for psychological or neurological testing, and referral to a developmental pediatrician, among others.
Child Therapist
Vivian Good, LPC, MA, MS, ACS
Licensed Professional Counselor, Accredited Clinical Supervisor
In 19087 - Nearby to Wilmington.
Children communicate in many ways. I use therapeutic play, art and music to support children's self worth and to encourage secure attachments with nurturing care givers. I provide a safe, trusting holding space for each child's unique identity, and also support families in negotiating the sometimes terrifying shoals of parenting so that all family members feel respected and loved.
