About The Practice

Bay Area Child Therapy

Child Therapy

Engaging in therapy helps children acquire new skills, change their behavior patterns, and establish healthier ways of expressing their feelings. When the family is engaged in the process together, it allows both the child and family to integrate and assimilate these changes, making the therapeutic process more effective long term.

I utilize evidence-based therapeutic practices to empower children struggling with a range of challenges including:

  • Generalized Anxiety
  • Social Anxiety
  • Technology & Social Media
  • Separation Anxiety
  • School Refusal
  • OCD
  • Depression
  • ADHD
  • Bullying
  • Self-Regulation
  • Friendship challenges
  • Divorce-related issues
  • Sleep issues
  • Loss/Grief

The various therapies I use in treating children include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, attachment therapy, family therapy, along with parenting support/parent coaching.

The specific techniques I employ are determined after an initial consultation with the child and family.

“Honestly said, Courtney changed the path of our 7 year-old son. Our son had a very good friend that died from cancer, a friend that he knew since he was 3 years old. Simultaneously he was experiencing extreme bullying at school. We needed help and are so grateful we found Courtney through the help of our pediatrician. We saw improvements through his time with Courtney and he was always happy to see Courtney and often felt very good after therapy was over . Thank you Courtney!”
