look at the world
through the eyes
of a child

Many times it is difficult to know whether a child's problems or concerns are "just a phase." There are specialists who are trained to assess and provide treatment to children who are experiencing difficulties and can tell you whether special attention is needed.

If you have a child you believe may be experiencing difficulties (developmentally, emotionally, academically, or behaviorally), you owe it to your child and yourself to do something about it.

Remember...

The earlier you recognize your child's special needs and seek professional help, the greater the chances that your child can be helped to overcome their difficulties.

Our specialized practice provides comprehensive and confidential psychological services to children and their families. We have two locations to serve your family, Aventura and Coral Gables. Our Aventura office is the main office, which consists of four therapy offices, a play therapy room, a testing room as well as an area to provide groups and workshops. In our Coral Gables office we have a therapy office and a group room and provide weekly social skills groups during the school year for ages four to college. Our beautiful Coral Gables office overlooks the Gables Waterway and keeps us enticed by lucky manatee sightings!

If you are seeking professional help, we have highly trained and caring professionals in both locations. We are fortunate to have a number of experienced clinicians on staff. Every member of our professional and support team has been chosen for their caring attitudes as well as their professional credentials. Please refer to the "about us" section for more information on our clinicians and their specialties.
