Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor
Life Path Counseling, PLLC - 5401 S. Tacoma Way, Tacoma, Washington 98409 | 360-865-4852
This practice does not work with clients younger than six years of age, due to the developmental issues often attached to younger children. Play therapy, coloring books, drawing, board games, and other options that are both age appropriate and useful in helping child clients to open up are utilized. Children are free to bring any game or toys they wish to play with in therapy, and can even teach the counselor. This gives the opportunity to examine the child's level of social engagement, as well as other clinical issues that might need to be addressed. Involvement from the care givers of the child are hugely important in developing a care plan.

ADHD Testing, LPC, LPCC, LMHC, NCC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Available for Online Therapy
I provide ADHD testing for children as young as 6. Does your child often get into trouble at school, or cause disruptions in the classroom? Has your child's school recommended ADHD testing for your child? If so, I can help. To start the process you can schedule your initial clinical session with me by requesting an appointment on my website. We will then meet online via my Telehealth platform in my client portal. I'll provide rating scales for you, your child, and for your child's teach to complete. After I review and score the results we'll meet online again for a follow-up session and I will provide you with a report that you can give to your school or doctor. Contact me to start soon!

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.
