Alberto Gamarra
Psychologist, Ph. D. NCSP
For many children and adolescents , wanting to feel like they're being heard and listened to is critical to changing negative behaviors. Often-times, despite their parent's best intentions, a third party is needed. Being an objective voice for these kids is often all that is needed. I'm able to help them bridge the communication gap they are feeling with their parents and sometimes, that is enough for significant change to start.
