Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CSAC
Parenting is hard and our kids don't always respond how we'd like. Our children grow and development at a rapid pace. As soon as we think we've figured parenting out, our kids change again. Struggling with specific aspects of parenting, and worrying about your child or teen's behavior is fairly normal. It's hard to know what is a true "problem" and what is within the range of "normal" behavior. We'll help you sort it out and know what steps to take to regain your footing and improve your relationship with your child.

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.
