Child or Adolescent Issues
Dr. Danielle Goodwin
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have had the privilege to work with children and adolescents for many years in the school, outpatient, residential and inpatient setting. I enjoy helping children to identify and build on their strengths and learn skills at a young age so they can feel more confident about who they are and grow to be the best version of themself. Integral to working with children or adolescents is involving parents so they can learn how to work together to create a harmonious home environment and guide their children or adolescent through difficult situations. I also may collaborate with schools so that interventions can be implemented that focus on their strengths.

I am board certified in clinical child and adolescent psychology and provide psychotherapy through telehealth to children and adolescents ages 9 and up. I treat a range of concerns for children and teens, including childhood anxiety, specific fears (phobias), OCD, depression, and state of life concerns such as a transition to middle school, relationship challenges, and working through grief and loss of important people in a child's life. I can also work with you directly on problem-solving situations that arise in parenting, how to help your kids regulate big emotions, and explore patterns that may arise in your parenting style.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with children and adolescents. Most children need to be seen in-person, but many teens are comfortable doing therapy virtually and this can be an effective treatment mode for them. With children and younger teens, parent consultations are usually part of the treatment so that we all work together as a "team" to help your child with whatever issues they are struggling. Older teens often do better when the therapy is more confidential, so that they can feel comfortable being open with me. I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you and your child. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your child, your family, and reasons for seeking therapy. I then meet with your child once or twice to get a sense of the issues with which they are struggling and determine if it appears therapy can be useful. At that point I give parents some feedback and we plan together from there. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that kids and parents would like to see.
