Resources for Kids & Teens

Sometimes kids ask their parents if they can come talk to someone who can help them with problems in their life, but usually it seems like coming to a psychologist is the parents' idea.  


I like for kids to know that I am not a "shot doctor" and I think "psychologist" is too formal and long of a title to use very regularly.  That's why I prefer to think of myself as a coach for kids and families.  One difference between me and a coach is that the things you talk about at Wake Family Psychology are all private so I don't tell anyone unless there's some reason to be concerned about your safety or someone else's safety.  


I will have already heard your parents' concerns at the first meeting.  When I meet you I like to hear if there's anything you would like to improve and just get to know you a little bit -- while you get to know me too.  Don't be alarmed if you feel a little unsure about coming at first.  That's common.  Most kids feel comfortable after starting to talk and finding out that it's not so weird to talk to a family coach.  There's no reason why we can't have fun while we meet too.


Explore the resources below for what I hope is useful information. See you later!
