Irvine, California therapist: Dr. David Shapiro, psychologist
Child or Adolescent Issues

Dr. David Shapiro

Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Historically I worked a lot with children and adolescents. In recent years I have shifted away from working with young kids but still work with quite a number of adolescents. Very often this work involves meeting individually with the teen, but often too do I also hold sessions with the teen and their parent. Other times, I coach parents of teens without necessarily working directly with the teen themselves. My approach tends to involve helping adolescents learn to make healthy decisions by assisting them in thinking through their choices, consequences, and essentially assisting them in becoming more effective in finding strategies that will get them the results they want while minimizing negative outcomes. In general I avoid sharing much information about them with their parents directly unless there is a concern about safety. Rather, my approach is to help the teen to communicate with their parents themselves. When it would be helpful I often help the teen to have these healthier communications with there parents in family therapy sessions. As a parenting coach, I try to assist parents in shifting to age appropriate parenting strategies when possible.

Child or Adolescent Issues

Stephen B. Lewis Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapist, CHt
Having two teenagers of my own I understand all too well the trials and tribulations of being a child in today's world. I've worked with children as young as 8 to help them resolve fears and habits that have caused them great distress. I've also worked with teenagers to help them overcome unwanted habits, issues around self-esteem, as well as social and academic problems that have been holding them back. Children and teens are often intrigued by the idea of using hypnosis to solve their problems, and any stigma they may feel about going for "therapy" is usually not present for hypnosis. I enjoy working with children and teenagers as they typically go into trance states very easily and have better access to their imaginations than most adults. My sessions with kids, as with adults, are usually relaxing, often fun, and sometimes even entertaining!
