Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
I was trained in Child and Adolescent Psychology at Duke University, and did a child and adolescent internship at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. For many years, I have offered individual, family and group psychotherapy for children and adolescents in the Washington, DC metro area. I also work with their parents and I coordinate with their schools and universities, as needed. Now I work globally with online networks, so I am not constrained by distance. I have led groups for children of divorce as well.
I offer regular free zoom seminars every few weeks, which are appropriate for adolescents and adults. My approach involving relaxation, music and imagery can provide a way of healing for children of all ages using their imagination. Over the years I have dealt with bed-wetting, encopresis, nightmares, learning disabilities, autism and Asperger’s, selective mutism, behavioral and school problems. Children are often resilient and respond well to psychotherapy. Please feel free to call for more information: 301-229-8000.

Elisha S Lee
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Our therapeutic services are designed to address the unique challenges faced by children and adolescents as they navigate through pivotal stages of development. Appreciating the complexities of youth experiences, from the pressures of academic performance to social integration and identity formation, we provide a nurturing environment that fosters growth, self-understanding, and resilience.
Tailored Support for Young Individuals
* Developmentally Appropriate Therapy: Our therapeutic approaches are specifically chosen to match the developmental stage of the child or adolescent. This can include play therapy for younger children, which allows them to express themselves in a language they know best—play.
* Family Involvement: Recognizing the importance of the family system, we encourage family involvement in the therapeutic process when it's beneficial. This can help ensure that the home environment supports the child’s therapeutic goals.
* Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): For older children and adolescents, CBT can be effective in addressing thought patterns and behaviors linked to their challenges, helping modify their responses to various situations.
* Skills Building: We focus on developing key life skills, like effective communication, problem-solving, emotion regulation, and social skills, which can empower children and adolescents to overcome personal obstacles and interact more confidently with their peers.
* Self-Esteem Enhancement: We work to strengthen a young person's sense of self-worth, highlighting their strengths, and encouraging positive self-expression.
Goals of Therapy for Child or Adolescent Issues
With a compassionate and holistic approach, our therapy aims to help young people:
* Navigate Emotional Challenges: Equip children and adolescents with tools to process and articulate their emotions to cope with challenges in a healthy manner.
* Improve Behavioral Outcomes: Address behavioral issues by identifying their root causes and fostering positive change.
* Boost Social Skills: Encourage the development of social skills that can improve interactions with peers and family members.
* Strengthen Family Relationships: Work towards creating a supportive family environment where each member understands and respects one another's needs and boundaries.
* Action Plan for Future Challenges: Build resilience and an action plan so that young individuals can handle future challenges with confidence and adaptability.
Whether your child or teen is dealing with anxiety, behavioral challenges, adjusting to family changes, or simply needs someone to talk to, we're here to support their journey and celebrate their unique personalities. Reach out to us, and together, we can lay the groundwork for a happier, healthier future.
