Birth, Pre and Post Natal & Adoption Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Having a baby, either by birth or through adoption, is a daunting and challenging event.
There should never be any shame involved in feeling you need a little extra support. Child Psychoanalysts are trained in understanding child development in a unique and meaningful manner. Our focus is on how to best understand why we are having the reaction we are having on any given day or during any given period of time.
Often times, increasing your understanding of when developmental achievements should fall, can help alleviate many worries new parents have. Through discussion and/or even bringing your young child to your appointments, much can be learned and much confidence can be gained.
As a Child Psychoanalyst I try my best to encourage your thinking through of an issue rather than my simply offering advice. We will work as a team; or as I sometimes say, we will be good detectives trying to figure out the solutions. Through our confidential discussions of the areas of concern that you have, together, we will be able to identify areas to focus on. The best work is done in a non-judgmental environment & we’ll strive to help you feel as comfortable as possible.
I specialize in the treatment of adopted children so that special attention is available on issues that are unique and specific to adoption.
APPOINTMENTS:
All sessions are 45-minutes in duration. Because the appointment is reserved for you (or your child), and this commitment on both of our parts is a most important aspect of what makes therapy successful, it is policy to charge for appointments not canceled with 72-hour notice (3 days) in advance. Fees would only be waived, if a cancellation is occasioned by circumstances, which we would both define as an emergency, and then discussed and mutually agreed upon.
