What are Child Behavior Problems?
Many disorders are diagnosed during childhood. In addition to the distress and impaired functioning experienced by adults, children are at particular risk of developing comorbid disorders during critical periods of development. Many aspects of behavior, including effective social skills, organizational skills, self-schema, and body image are largely established at early ages of development.
Therefore, it is of great importance that accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment occur as soon as possible. In addition, it is always important to ensure that parents and other family members are involved as they often experience anxiety and other aversive experiences out of their concern for the behaviorally challenged child.

Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
With a strong foundation as a former school counselor and over 15 years of clinical experience, I specialize in working with children and adolescents navigating the emotional, academic, and social complexities of growing up. My approach is developmentally sensitive, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges young people face—whether it's anxiety, mood concerns, peer relationships, academic pressures, identity exploration, or family dynamics.
My background gives me a nuanced perspective on the systems that impact adolescents and allows me to bridge the gap between home, school, and therapy. I am especially passionate about helping teens build self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience, while also empowering families with strategies to support their child’s growth.
