Hello! My name is Ailyne ( pronounced I-lean) and I have been a child and adolescent therapist for 9 years. I provide evidence-based therapy to clients seeking assistance for a variety of diagnoses including Anxiety, Depression and PTSD. I also have passion for working with queer youth and those who are exploring what it means to be their authentic self.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with children and teens for the majority of my career has helped me understand that therapy is something that needs to be individualized. I include my clients hobbies, likes and interests into my sessions so that my engage and feel supported.
I have used CBT in my practice for 10 years as an evidence-based protocol for various diagnoses and symptoms.
I am EMDR trained and use this modality primarily with clients that have PTSD diagnoses.
I have been certified in TF-CBT for 5 years and use this modality for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma.
I use positive psychology techniques for issues with self-esteem or self-discovery.
