Child therapists in St. Charles, Maryland MD
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.

Teens need just the right fit when it comes to working with a therapist. They need someone who can make them feel comfortable enough to open up while also challenging them at a level that helps them to grow. We have therapists who work with adolescents struggling with a variety of issues such as social anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, addiction, self-harm, suicide, or just difficulty navigating everyday stressors.
