Child or Adolescent Issues
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in working with teens, my approach to treatment is rooted in empathy, respect, and understanding of the unique developmental challenges adolescents face. I create a safe and supportive environment where teens feel heard and validated, fostering trust and open communication. Through a combination of evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing, I address a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, peer relationships, identity exploration, and academic stress. I collaborate closely with teens to set achievable goals, develop coping skills, and navigate life transitions effectively. Additionally, I recognize the importance of involving parents or guardians in the therapeutic process to provide support and facilitate positive changes within the family system. My goal is to empower teens to overcome challenges, build resilience, and thrive emotionally and academically during this critical stage of development.

Maria Maddalo
Psychologist, Psy.D., BCBA
Child and Adolescent Issues often present differently than adults. With this in mind, it is important to work at a child or adolescent's developmental level. I work with these special clients to meet them where they are, and to address their specific areas of need, including friendships, relationships, bullying, and academics. Suicidal ideation is also a rising concern among this population.
As a Licensed Psychologist and School Psychologist in PA, I am able to provide both therapy and evaluations for your child or adolescent.

When this is a presentation for our patients, we look to better understand what may be contributing to this. If this is something that wants to be addressed, and if so, how and when. Pacing is the key here.
