Stephanie Haymaker Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

Children and Adolescents

Working with children and adolescents requires the three "E"s -- Empathy, Expertise and Energy. Children need to know that they will be listened to with respect and compassion. Children are savvy consumers and are willing to address their problems when approached in a safe and structured therapy setting. They are often able to participate in creative solutions to their problems.

My work involves cognitive-behavioral interventions with an appreciation for unique individual and family concerns. The best approach is one that is goal-oriented with a clear and comprehensive assessment to initiate the process. I utilize a variety of play techniques for younger children to facilitiate expression of feelings and thoughts, depending on the needs of the child.
