Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Amy Schullery
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I help teens learn the best ways to cope with changes they are facing. I lot of teens I work with have high expectations for themselves and have a lot of pressure on them. We work on strategies to combat anxiety and stress that this time in life brings. I help college age students adjust to the unique challenges they are facing with adjusting to new schools, moving away from home, and balancing academics and other responsibilities. I also work with their parents, so that teen-parent relationships can be improved and parents can find the right strategies for helping.
