Storybook Counseling LLC

Ideally, childhood is a time full of wonder, play and learning in the context of safe relationships. Sometimes, despite the best intentions of caregivers, children experience trauma or other situations that challenge their sense of safety. Other times, a child’s behaviors make it clear that they are struggling, but it’s not clear why. As with many issues, the earlier the intervention, the easier it is to address the need. My practice focuses on children under age 10. When you know your child has experienced something upsetting, or you see negative emotional or behavioral patterns emerging, it may be time to seek therapeutic support. I have training and experience specific to working with young children ages 0-10 addressing mental health needs related to trauma, anxiety, and family challenges. In most cases, even when a child is old enough to talk or play about their feelings, I find it helpful to involve the caregiver for the duration of the therapy sessions rather than just a check-in. A child’s caregiver is the center of the child’s world and the key to his or her experience of it. You have the power to improve your child’s outlook and functioning. I am happy to help you write the next, happier, more secure chapter in your family’s story. Please contact me for a brief consultation to see if my services might help.
