Child and Adolescent Services

 Children  have wonderful opportunities these days.  But, they can suffer from feeling too much pressure.  At times, more psychological issues may be at issue such as anxiety or depression.  Learning issues can affect all academic skill areas such as reading, writing, and spelling.  School issues show up many ways including behavior difficulties in the classroom, problems focusing, lost homework, falling grades or being the class clown. 

Adolescents, by definition, feel under pressure.  They have pressures coming at them from all directions including parents, teachers and peers. They can be challenged in all the same ways as children are, but for teens it can be more intense or even hidden. 

For children and adolescents, family issues may include sibling rivalry, managing feelings around a divorce, discipline, college planning, and managing a learning differences child or teen.

School issues typically require good communication and coordination between Dr. Betman, school personnel and parents.  Attending IEP or other school is part of the service Dr. Betman provides.

These are just some of the services provided:

• ADHD testing, therapy and coaching
• Helping children and teens cope with divorce
• Psychological testing for cognitive ability, achievement, and learning issues
• Parent Child Interaction Therapy
• Consultation to schools and Universities
• Individual, group, and family therapy
