Utah Center for Evidence Based Treatment
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Our expert child therapists provide quality, Evidence Based Care for Children and Adolescents. We treat a range of common childhood difficulties (e.g. school refusal, separation anxiety, self-harm, depression, ADHD, encopresis, PTSD, etc).
We work with children and their parents across the lifespan. In our experience, we find that a combination of working both with child and parents leads to the most effective and lasting results. As such, our team will carefully craft a treatment plan that best suits the needs of your family, which may include individual child treatment, parent coaching, or both. In this way, we take a collaborative approach to help your family navigate complex developmental challenges.

Hypnotherapist, Doctorate in Metaphysical Science, MSc.D. Clinical and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist CTHT
As children become more adept at understanding things at an early age, they need more guidance with more issues than ever before. I work with children 7 & up, to bring them to a place where they can comprehend and make the proper choices with their actions, thoughts, and emotions.

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.
