Children often express their needs through behavior, and therapy can help make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface. I use age-appropriate, engaging techniques to support children with emotional, social, or behavioral concerns. Through play, creativity, and connection, we build skills for emotional regulation, increase self-confidence, and strengthen the parent-child relationship.

Our strategic goal in counseling young children is to build a trusting rapport through a safe and supportive environment by utilizing play-based techniques to allow them to express their emotions and experiences non-verbally, often through play therapy, while actively listening and demonstrating empathy to encourage open communication; this approach is considered the most effective way to help young children process their feelings and concerns.

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.

Some budgeting needed

While counseling can certainly be an expense for individuals and families in Chicago, with proper budgeting, it is entirely do-able and the risk/reward is worth it. For some families, it may be difficult to sustain a commitment to therapy without proper insurance coverage. If this is you, ask your therapist about low cost options as practitoners in and around Chicago may have flexibility or sliding scales. Low cost counseling and affordable therapy are also sometimes offered by listed city and university level clinics, check with your local Chicago public health department.
