JoAnne M. Beck, CNS, LLC

Psychotherapy for Children & Adolescents

Client Testimonial

"Ms. Beck has been extremely helpful with our family's needs. We enjoy her hollistic approach as she incorporates the entire family and other factors that play a role in difficult situations. Ms. Beck teachers families how to integrate solutions which address the issues at hand but also allow for flexibility when or if other problem sets arise. Although it has not been easy for my family through this difficult time, Ms. Beck has certainly helped turn our family's situation into a smoother and more peaceful transition. I would recommend her services to anyone who is in need of therapy for family and especially children. Thank you, JoAnne."

girl-holdheadI work with children and adolescents (ages 6-20) who are dealing with a variety of issues. Services offered range from short-term crisis management and brief counseling to long-term psychotherapy. I will conduct an initial assessment, and together we will develop a treatment plan suited to your needs. I work from a strength-based focus which emphasizes individual interests and abilities. Individual therapy may include play therapy, art, therapeutic stories, meditation and other therapeutic strategies. I have worked with schools and individual students to devise and carry out anxiety management and school refusal plans.
