Is your child overly worried or fearful? Do you have a stressed out teen who struggles with body image and eating problems? Are you experiencing recurrent intrusive unwanted thoughts or engaging in repetitive behaviors? As a licensed clinical psychologist, I am dedicated to improving the lives of children, adolescents, and young adults with compassionate, supportive, and evidence-based therapy. Our solution-focused sessions will look at what is working well for you now and how to make changes to your thoughts, behaviors, coping skills, and relationships in order to feel better and stay better. I provide cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavior, and interpersonal therapy for anxiety, OCD & body-focused repetitive behaviors, and eating disorders in a professional, confidential, and caring environment at the Commons. I have specialized training in child/adolescent therapy and pediatric health psychology (coping w/ chronic illness/medical issues). Therapy works best when you feel comfortable, so I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to help you determine if we will be a good fit before your visit. "The best way out is always through" and I consider it a great honor to help you through your struggle. See my website for more information about my services: www.birchwoodpsych.com.
