Are you looking for a provider who specializes in working with young children who display difficult-to-manage behaviors? Are you desiring a stronger and more positive relationship with your child? Does your child struggle behaviorally or show difficulty adjusting to the birth or presence of a new sibling? Early intervention is essential to helping young minds thrive, and it’s not too late to get the help your family needs. If your child is displaying temper tantrums, depression, anxiety, clinginess, hyperactivity, impulsivity, aggression, defiance, or any other challenging behaviors, then seeking professional help may be a great next-step for you and your family. Disruptive behaviors can lead to familial/ marital distress, increased parental distress, and can negatively impact a child’s ability to learn and develop meaningful connections with others. Our team also includes professionals who are trained in addressing issues related to maternal and paternal mental health, postpartum complications, birth trauma, and mental health challenges experienced throughout the perinatal period.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The intake appointment appointment consists of review of consents and disclosures and the gathering of important information about your child. We will collaboratively develop goals for therapy and plan next steps following the firat appointment.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Dr. Whitmore specializes in working with young children ages 0-5, providing parent training, and treating perinatal and postpartum issues.
