I provide child therapy in Gilbert, AZ. I have worked with children who experience behavioral and emotional difficulties for multiple years. I have experience working with children in areas such as trauma, depression, anxiety, social skills, and ADHD. My approach is to help the child feel safe and comfortable while working to process through difficult experiences. I help children increase coping skills and learn to manage negative feelings more effectively.

I work with children ages 9 and up. I integrate play therapy techniques, but I also specialize in sandtray therapy.

I also work with parents to create an atmosphere at home that encourages the desired behaviors. I have experience with academic under performance, defiant behavior, anger, anxiety, trauma, depression, attachment problems, lying, sibling fighting, and many other problems that children go through.

Coach/Change Agent/Consultant

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn’t be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.

Brooke Hoeferle, MA, LAC
Child Therapist

Brooke Hoeferle, MA, LAC

Licensed Associate Counselor

In 85048 - Nearby to Avondale.

I work with tweens and teens, 10 and up. I typically utilize Narrative Therapy , Expressive Arts, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Strengths-Based approaches when it comes to minors. Tweens and teens are brilliant and have extraordinary outlooks when interacting with the world around them. Given these qualities, the world can be overwhelming in ways that adults do not have to experience anymore or as often as they used to. This is why I take careful time to build rapport with these clients before diving into heavy therapeutic work. Children need to feel like they have a voice within the therapeutic space in order to communicate and express themselves authentically.

Khara Fuentes, LMFT
Child Therapist

Khara Fuentes, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

In 85048 - Nearby to Avondale.

In her work with young children Khara utilizes her 4.5lb trained therapy dog, named Tino. When children don't want to come to therapy, they often want to go to see Tino. This helps children feel more comfortable faster than would be possible without Tino's help. This allows Khara to "jump right in" to why your child is coming to therapy. Khara uses Tino to teach children important skills like listening, following directions, and most important, setting healthy boundaries.

Clinical and Developmental Psychologist

Children need methods tailored to their age. Working with the parents and child we use proven methods to help overcome problems at home, school and with friends. Children and parents learn to manage anxiety, depression, stress and disappointment so that daily situations are successfully addressed. This also helps parents and children stop focusing on the problems and enjoy being a family.
