Diane Vaillancourt
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.A., psychotherapist, Life Coach
I enjoy working with adolescent. They are a big part of my practice. It is a special stage of development and must be addressed differently. Adolescent are struggling at becoming a responsible adult and at separating from their parents. It is often a difficult time due to lack of communication with the parents and of understanding. I involved the parents in the sessions when it is needed.

Alisa Lindenbaum
Art Therapist, MPS, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPAT
Art and Play comes naturally to children and puts them at ease, making it more possible for them to tackle challenges and concerns than traditional talk therapy.
Art therapy facilities social, emotional, and cognitive development, allowing a child to move further towards reaching their true potentials.
Creative arts psychotherapy positively affects mood, cognition and behavior. This is particularly evident in children with special needs, PTSD, developmental disabilities, and other mental and behavioral health conditions or those dealing with grief, divorce, bullying, and other challenges.
Involvement in art activities also allows kids to grow confidence. It’s a way to open up dialogue about situations that may be hard to deal with or share. Articulating their emotions in a creative way can be both therapeutic and insightful.
Expression through art is a way to help these kids identify and broach otherwise difficult to understand emotions, feel a sense of normalcy without judgment, while also allowing them to show their individual personality and bring attention to their strengths.

Daniel Minuchin
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A, LMFT
As a family therapist, I work with families around the range of issues that affect children and adolescents from depression and problems in school, to behavioral problems , parent child conflicts, and family communication issues. I work with the whole family together. Often resolving general issues in the family will help resolve issues that children are having, even when the connection is not obvious. I find that working with the whole family is a quicker and more effective way to help resolve child and adolescent issues.
