Child Therapist
Lois Muir-McClain, M.A., LPC, NCC
Licensed Professional Counselor
In 30078 - Nearby to Porterdale.
I work with children and adolescents ages 6-18. My approach is to let them participate in their therapy, so that they have a sense of control, and not that something is "being done to them." Every child is different, so my approach depends on their personality and behavior. With quiet, or defiant children, I may start by playing a board game or doing puzzles so we can get to know each other. With a more outgoing or verbal kid, they may have a lot to tell me and just want to talk. Still others respond to workbook exercises which I provide feedback on. Call me at 678-209-1348 to discuss my approach with children and also so I can find out more about your situation and what your child needs.

Children experience many different stages of life but may not be able to express their feeling due to fear, not feeling comfortable, respect or not wanting to anger loved ones. Many times children can internalise their feelings. This can cause them to act up in their adolescent, teen and adult years. Unpacking feelings in a safe space and addressing them can help them heal, process and thrive.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children.

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.
