“I founded the Chicago Children’s Clinic to provide compassion and expertise because both are necessary, but neither is sufficient when young people are in need of help. I enjoy discovering talents in children and adolescents, and helping them thrive, excel, and enjoy life. Children and families face many challenges, so I focus on areas in which they are successful, and build from there.”

Master’s and Doctoral-Level Therapists

Our team of therapists provides services to children and families in their home, school, and community to assist with many activities of daily living. These may include:

  • Supervising and structuring play dates so they are more successful
  • Assisting in school settings to foster independence and improve academic and social skills (i.e., help children to make friends on the playground and during lunch)
  • Training parents and teachers in behavior management techniques specific to the settings where problems occur (e.g., getting out the door in the morning, community outings to the park or grocery store, completing homework, and bedtime)
