Alisa Lindenbaum
Art Therapist, MPS, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPAT
Art and Play comes naturally to children and puts them at ease, making it more possible for them to tackle challenges and concerns than traditional talk therapy.
Art therapy facilities social, emotional, and cognitive development, allowing a child to move further towards reaching their true potentials.
Creative arts psychotherapy positively affects mood, cognition and behavior. This is particularly evident in children with special needs, PTSD, developmental disabilities, and other mental and behavioral health conditions or those dealing with grief, divorce, bullying, and other challenges.
Involvement in art activities also allows kids to grow confidence. It’s a way to open up dialogue about situations that may be hard to deal with or share. Articulating their emotions in a creative way can be both therapeutic and insightful.
Expression through art is a way to help these kids identify and broach otherwise difficult to understand emotions, feel a sense of normalcy without judgment, while also allowing them to show their individual personality and bring attention to their strengths.

Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
Are you a parent overwhelmed by raising your child? Are you struggling to remain calm and patient with your kids when situations are tough, leaving you feeling guilty and remorseful? Are you feeling frustrated and hopeless with your child, not knowing how to help them change certain behaviors they exhibit? Having a child can stimulates more feelings than any other life situation. In our children, we see parts of ourselves; in our parenting of them, we see our own histories of how we were raised, which can be painful and confusing at times. As a mother, I understand the complicated mix of emotions that is stimulated by being a parent. We can be pulled in different directions in our parenting, at times responding to our own childhood hurts. Becoming conscious of these patterns can open potential for new and more joyous ways of being with our children. I offer therapy to parents as well as to children and adolescents.

Inspired Hope
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
As a high school teacher for over twenty years, a mother of four teens, and an In Home Clinician working with children and adolescents for five years, I like to say that I speak fluent teen. These formative years are met with some many obstacles; mentally, physically, academically, and personally. Navigating one's way during this time can be confusing, and we all know that "parents just don't understand." I start by building rapport and helping your child to acknowledge their struggles and then we work together to find ways to overcome them in a supportive and understanding space.
