As a Christian Therapist providing therapy to children in Bakersfield, the challenges I most often help with are those related to ADHD, anger, depression, anxiety, conduct (i.e. lying, stealing, aggression), life stress/trauma, and bullying. I love to help children work through what’s bothering them, strengthen their ability to cope with life stress, and I enjoy partnering with parents to identify strategies on how to support their child’s unique needs. Sometimes this includes a combination of individual therapy and family therapy, and I use a variety of professional therapy techniques that are consistent with a Biblical worldview..
Things can and do change. There is always hope.
I use the Bible for references of faith and if you’d like to know more about my beliefs, please read my article: Christ-Centered Parenting: Ideas To Consider, or feel free to contact me for more questions.
