Many parents worry whether their child is adjusting well to changes or recent stressors. Does your child appear sad or anxious or worries that something bad will happen? Or perhaps your child often displays an irritable mood and you're feeling unsatisfied with your relationship with your child. Utilizing the strengths of your family and child, we will work together to customize treatment goals that may include: Improve parent/child relationship; Improve ability to express feelings; Healthy channeling of anger; Improve academic performance; Decrease depression & anxiety, Heal wounds and internal conflicts; Enhance interpersonal relationships; Elevate self-awareness & self-esteem; Improve developmental growth & Increase coping skills. If you or a teacher is concerned about your child's behavior and ability to manage, then your child may benefit from an assessment and professional help. I bring unique credentials to my work with children and adolescents through art as a Board Certified and Registered Art Therapist by the American Art Therapy Association. Art Therapy meets children's developmental levels unlike traditional talk therapy which is limited to the child's verbal skills and abilities. Art is a way of making sense of their chaotic world and allows restorative healing. For more information, call or email Mary Hamilton and mention Psychology Today.
