Young children require speciality care. Traditional talk therapy is usually not approach. Most often when working with young children and sometimes even pre-teens and teens, physical interaction is required. This can be accomplished through games or special modalities such as Sand Tray therapy. The clinicians at CHRIS who work with young children infuse play and arts/crafts in the work they do as they help children tell the stories of what is bothering them.

Clinical Psychologist

In 19341 - Nearby to Norristown.

I see children from the age of four years and up, many of whom are referred for behavioral and emotional difficulties such as frequent and long-lasting tantrums, poor emotional regulation, defiance, physical aggression toward parents or siblings, and/or high degrees of anxiety. In these situations I meet with the child and his or her parent(s), so that I can see the interactions and better discern whether this is a strictly behavioral or a developmental problem. Treatment options may include parent coaching, family counseling, individual counseling (for older kids), referral for psychological or neurological testing, and referral to a developmental pediatrician, among others.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Accredited Clinical Supervisor

Children communicate in many ways. I use therapeutic play, art and music to support children's self worth and to encourage secure attachments with nurturing care givers. I provide a safe, trusting holding space for each child's unique identity, and also support families in negotiating the sometimes terrifying shoals of parenting so that all family members feel respected and loved.

In our current over-scheduled, over-pressured world, families are confronting problems they have little capacity to do anything about. We can tend to cope by getting stuck in a narrow range of behaviors and responses even if they are not helpful. A child who has learned to have temper tantrums when she is angry, and her parents who have learned to punish or pamper her, are stuck in maladaptive, non-growthful environments—‘a bad play’. It’s like playing the same part in the same play on the same stage day after day. A key component in this play is often our children’s behavioral, emotional and leaning difficulties that are so disruptive or dysfunctional - all we want to do is stop it. As pare....

As a therapist with a background in, not only mental health, but also schools and school counseling; I have learned the wide range of tools, resources, and supports it takes to keep our kids safe, healthy, and happy. I believe in the ability for all children, regardless of their challenges, to learn and grow. Virtual sessions are conducted in a safe space so that children can learn and grow from the comfort of their own home.

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.

Mental Health Counselor

It can be the most heart wrenching experience to watch your child struggle through tough emotions and mental health issues. Many parents can feel they are at a loss on how to help their child. In meeting with children, I have found that creating a predictable, safe space and relationship is crucial in them benefitting from therapy. I also collaborate with the parents in providing care that the child needs, as I believe the parents play the most important part in their child's healing and growth.
