Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Lavallette, NJ.

At MVCG Psychotherapy, we provide compassionate, developmentally appropriate therapy for young children facing emotional, behavioral, or social challenges. Through play-based techniques and family involvement, we help children express themselves, build coping skills, and improve emotional regulation. We work closely with parents and caregivers to support healthy attachment, communication, and consistent routines. Using evidence-based approaches tailored to each child’s needs, we create a safe, nurturing space where children can grow, heal, and thrive emotionally and socially.

As a teacher for the past 10 years, I've worked with students from age 5-17. I worked three years with preschoolers which I really enjoyed. The remainder of the time I worked with K-12. Also, throughout my practice for past 25 years I saw students. I work closely with the parents and I work hard to improve communication between parent and child.

Clients will benefit from counseling and support for children through GoMo Health’s Concierge Care® platform by receiving comprehensive, developmentally appropriate care that engages both the child and their caregivers. This approach combines therapist-led sessions with interactive digital tools such as behavioral prompts, emotional check-ins, and routine-building activities to reinforce healthy coping and communication skills. Parents receive guidance and support to foster a nurturing environment, while children gain structure, emotional insight, and consistency. This continuous, personalized support promotes positive behavioral change and long-term emotional growth in children.

Young children often need an emotionally safe environment to thrive. Dr. Spada can support you and your child to explore issues your child is experiencing and teach them positive ways to cope. Dealing with issues that may be coming up for a child right away is critical so that they don't have to struggle as adults. Play therapy and talk therapy can help a child explore and navigate what it is they are feeling.

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!
