“As an experienced child and family therapist, I understand how difficult it can be to find resources and help for children and teens who are suffering from emotional and behavioral issues including: low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, forming and maintaining healthy relationships, past trauma and abuse, as well as engaging in negative behaviors. I specialize in working with individuals ranging from small children to young adults who are experiencing difficulty in their functioning and ability to navigate life's challenges and relationships. I am committed to helping these individuals and their families become healthy, functional, and whole.
I am an experienced play therapist and can help your child by providing guidance and expertise in developing healthy coping techniques, communication and behavioral modification skills in a comfortable, confidential and supportive environment.
As an additional service, we offer several different groups and workshops for children, teens, and parents. Please check out our website for current dates and times. Sara Bannon, CSW IS ALSO AVAILABLE TO SEE CLIENTS AND SPECIALIZES IN WORKING WITH CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS.”
