I specialize in addressing a wide range of issues affecting children and adolescents, including anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, academic stress, family conflicts, and more. I understand the importance of creating a safe and nurturing space where young clients feel heard, valued, and understood.

Dr. Christina A Remek
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I can relate to children and adolescents to help them manage their stress, frustrations, and hardships that are experienced in their youth. I work particularly well with adolescents and establishing a strong therapeutic alliance can help them to feel comforted and safe to discuss difficult topics.

Strides in Psychotherapy
Psychologist, PSY.D.
Usually, when people think about psychotherapy, they imagine sitting on a couch in an office talking to a therapist about their problems. This style of therapy works just fine for many adults and adolescents. However, most younger children express themselves better through play than through words—for them, play is a primary method of communication. Even very bright and highly verbal children may find it difficult to talk about situations when strong feelings are involved. This is why they might shrug their shoulders, refuse to answer or say “I don’t know” when asked what is wrong. They might also “act out” or try to communicate to you through their behavior rather than through words, and sometimes these behaviors can get them into trouble at home or at school or be misunderstood by those around them. In addition, children often find it hard to sit still and talk for 45 minutes in a row, and they enjoy coming to therapy much more when play is a part of the equation.
