Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Williamstown, NY.

Children struggle with the stresses and hurts of life just like the rest of us. Often the recipients of collateral damage, they are dealing with very confusing and upsetting life events that need to be made sense of. Because they are cute and they giggle and play in the backyard, we forget that they are hurting from the problems in their lives that they just don't understand. So with children, we have to meet them where they are and talk their language. The language of children is playing and they often have a lot to say, if we can only listen to their stories and concerns. Play therapy offers children their voice with someone who is listening. We want to help.

Currently there are very few providers supporting who we lovingly call "the littles" of our community. This is the 10 and under demographic. Children start to experience stressors earlier and earlier and as the veil of childhood innocence falls they need help coping. Connecting with a professional early on can help out littles make sense of the world. We also provide family and parental coaching to handle challenging behaviors. We incorporate play, art, and music into our work and are in the process of brining on a therapy dog as well.

I work with preteens, teens, and young adults who struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, social issues at school, life transitions, and coping with parent breakups. I often like to involve parents in the process so that it is a team approach and everyone can utilize skills to help each other. I also work with adults struggling with, anxiety and life changes. I enjoy teaching skills and tools to implement in daily life.

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.

As a certified child centered play therapist, I am trained and enjoy working with children ages 3 and up. Using play therapy for children is like talk therapy for adults.. it is the best way children have to communicate their struggles and work through their feelings. A critical part of working with children is keeping communication going with you, the parent. Part of my treatment approach includes regularly scheduled consultations with you. I have designated play therapy space at my Syracuse and Rome offices, and look forward to talking with you about your child.

I support young children, parents, and families in individual and relational play therapy. In our initial parent intake session, you will have the opportunity to share your concerns or observations and the goals you have for your child's treatment. In non-directive play therapy, I create a safe space for children to process difficult experiences, build emotional regulation, and grow their experience of mastery and self-esteem. All through their natural developmental and age-appropriate language- play. Along the way, I meet with parents for regular consult sessions to discuss your child's progress, treatment plan, and coordinating their care.
