I've worked with families, adolescents and
child
ren for over 20 years.
No one wants to have emotional pain, or struggle with anxiety or depression. We all want to have healthy relationships and desire to feel content and loved. At some point, however, we all experience pain due to grief, tragedy or some unforeseen circumstance. I'm here to tell you there's hope, peace and understanding within your grasp. I'm not saying it's simple or easy to face pain, but success is possible and achievable. Life's journey can be filled with happiness and a sense of fulfillment but continued growth and the willingness to challenge one's self is always a prerequisite.

Child psychologists in Whitehall, MI provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Whitehall build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
