Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Cypress, TX.

With adolescents, negative self-talk may start to form or it may have already started at a very young age. Growing up is difficult. There are so many changes that adolescents go through that it can be tough to navigate through life. The negative messages can come from multiple sources – home, school, peers and the media. We often fail to realize that it can create rivalry and a deterioration of self-worth. When distress is experienced at a young age, it can impact our abilities to bounce back from a challenging situation. When we meet I will ensure a safe, trusting and non-judgmental environment where we can work together to build and achieve your personal goals. I work with individuals, couples and adolescents and employ a variety of evidence-based and...(view profile to read more)

I work with children ages 6 and above. Empowerment is crucial in all therapy and what better time to learn self-empowerment than while still young. My doctoral dissertation involved Redecision Therapy. In this model the child ego state is where most therapeutic treatment is done. Children are not just small adults. Children can be both fragile and resilient. For children under the age of 6, I recommend play therapy, however I do not practice this mode of counseling. I teach the diagnosing of children in a graduate course I have taught about 8 semesters. Diagnoses is just a starting point however. Labels can be self-fulfilling and while important are wrought with dangers. Conservative wisdom.

Children are the most precious gift this world has to offer! We have worked with young children and adolescents and are passionate about helping them and their families however we can. Through play therapy, therapuetic story telling, family therapy, and individual sessions we believe that any child can be healed from past hurt, abuse, depression, fear, or disruptive behavior due to their inner hurt. Our approach is to work with the child and family for complete healing and encouragement overall, not quick, temporary fixes. We would love to meet your child and see exactly how we can help!

Ever wish you could send your kids on a vacation…without you? Every child is a gift and a source of joy. While a parent’s love never ends, various struggles can still arise. For this reason every parent needs a little help from time to time as they strive to meet their children’s needs and strengthen their relationships. Our professional counselors can offer you the extra guidance and support you need for parenting and for your stage of family life.

As a family therapist, I find it helpful to engage the entire family in the session. This may include parents, step-parents or grandparents that are acting as primary caretakers. During the session, all family members are encouraged to participate. I engage children who lack verbal skills through games and play. This reduces anxiety for the child and promotes a therapeutic connection. Using play as a means of getting parents and children to express their feelings can supplement talk therapy and may accelerate the progress toward client driven goals.

The elementary age is a critical age for children. It is often the time we witness emotional difficulties, such as heightened anxiety and sadness in our children. I strive to create a safe place to discover different emotions and allow for healthy expression of feelings. I believe in the systems approach of working with the entire family to change interactions and unhealthy patterns in order for change to extend beyond the therapy room. Some areas that I work with include anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, AD/HD, eating disorders, school issues, family changes, autism spectrum disorders, social skills, peer interactions, self-harm, and more.

Our doctors and therapists have years of experience not only studying childhood disorders, but working with many young clients with different needs. This has enabled us to combine our training with our "real world" experience as well. Our strength is knowing how to use this training to be "kid-friendly" and give them tools that they can use in their daily life. Kids love us and they love coming back!
