Children are often misunderstood by grown-ups because they tend to express their feelings and perceptions through actions instead of words, and grown-ups often find these actions challenging or troublesome, which in turn leads to more misunderstanding. My approach with a child is thus to develop a therapeutic rapport, so the child can understand that he or she won't be judged personally for his or her actions or difficulties. This encourages the child to express him- or herself honestly and to appreciate counseling as an opportunity. I often also work closely with the parent(s) or guardian(s) since they play such an important part in the child's life and in how that child thinks and feels.

Children and adolescents can be challenging when it comes to therapy, as they are changing and evolving into small humans. Counseling and therapy can assist children in identifying healthy strategies and coping skills to develop their personality, as well as bonding and building a relationship with peers. We can assist your child in identifying a sense of self, focusing on healthy skills.

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.

Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern

Available for Online Therapy

With over 10 years of experience working with children and teens, I've learned how to make them feel understood and empowered to make good choices for themselves. Although different from the problems grown-ups might experience, children and teens still experience BIG emotions and deal with real problems that they need help with. Therapy can help your child or teen express themselves in a positive way through healthy coping skills. I will provide empathy and validation and provide practical tools for dealing with their mental health issues. With kids and teens, I love to incorporate play and art therapy and creative outlets that work for them.

Some budgeting needed
