With a compassionate approach, I address the unique challenges faced by young individuals, offering strategies to cope with developmental changes, social pressures, and emotional difficulties.
I have been working with children and adolescents since 1981. I have worked in research on ADD/ADHD and have years of experience with positive behavior modification interventions. I have written several children's self-help books and believe kids deserve to have coping skills for their emotions and personal interactions. www.amazon.com/author/loisnightingale

I have experience of working with children 5 years and older, with various issues including depression, anxiety, earlier trauma, self-esteem, relational issues, and "acting out" behaviors. If your child is having a hard time at home or school, please give me a call—I would love to help.
At least half of my clientele are children and adolescents. I add in art therapy, sand tray, tactile projects, and more to aid in the therapy process for minors.
As client-centered therapists, I am experienced in working with children in the past and would love to welcome all parts of kids and adolescents with open arms, warmth, and kindness.
We understand that your teen is a unique individual. He or she is in need of care and comfort. The goal of our clinical and holistic services is to help restore your teen to health. Consequently, teenage mental health treatment is about building a stable, strong foundation. As a result, such a foundation leads to a fulfilling and productive life.
Previously, I worked as a child and family therapist for several years at an outpatient community mental health clinic. The earlier you intervene in a child's life, the better off they will be as an adult. Working with kids and families is one of my passions and I also provide parenting skills as well.
I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for working with children and adolescents. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to the well-being of young minds, specializing in those aged 9 and up. My approach is infused with warmth and expertise, and I utilize play therapy techniques to create a safe and engaging space for children facing issues such as bullying, anxiety, depression, school performance, and family dynamics.
