With over 30 years' experience in helping families understand and address emotional and behavioral problems with their children and teens, I have had many successes in helping resolve negative behaviors, difficult relationships, and even substance abuse issues. I also provide assessment of emotional and learning issues, liaison with schools to provide accommodations, communicate with physicians to begin, adjust or modify medication regimens, and provide suggestions regarding other services that might make a big difference in the child's emotional and/or academic well-being.

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.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Jocelyn Jarman
Counselor/Therapist, LMSW
Childhood is extraordinary. It's also, quietly, one of the hardest things a person goes through. Kids and teens are constantly navigating emotions they don't have words for, relationships that keep shifting, pressure that keeps building — and a sense of self that's still being written. When something's wrong, it usually doesn't look like sadness. It looks like acting out. Withdrawing. Refusing. Exploding. At Deserts Bloom Therapy, that behavior is never the whole story — it's an invitation to understand what's underneath. Children work through play, art, and sand tray, because kids speak in imagination before they speak in insight. Teens get a space that belongs entirely to them — to process, to question, to figure out who they actually are. Jocelyn's background in education and foster care gives her a rare, grounded understanding of what safety really means for a young person. Your child doesn't have to carry this alone.
