I work from a cognitive-behavioral and interpersonal perspective; different age groups, however, require adjustments to the developmental level of the client.  With children, the emphasis is more on behavior and their relationships with parents, peers and teachers.  With adolescents and adults, it shifts to more cognitive and relational interventions.  When working with children, I work both with the client and parents to help facilitate change, although the amount of time I spend with individuals tends to increase with age.  In some cases I will recommend that the whole family work together in family therapy.  When anxiety is a problem, I may use biofeedback to help my clients learn effective relaxation strategies. 

To help you decide if you have a mental health problem, try using an online screening tool.  These screens are not a substitute for a careful evaluation by a professional, but can be helpful in understanding patterns of symptoms you might be experiencing.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
