Childhood and adolescence are both crucial stages of development. Children and adolescents do not have an innate ability to express their thoughts and feelings or to regulate their emotions.  Dr. Blair fosters collaborative relationships to help children and adolescents practice appropriate emotional expression and work through various challenges. Dr. Blair also values incorporating parents into treatment when appropriate. Since Dr. Blair only spends a limited time with your child, she often finds it helpful to review what is discussed in sessions so that you can implement the strategies at home. Therapy is very personal, and Dr. Blair tailors her approach to help your child or adolescent get the most out of treatment.  Dr. Blair incorporates Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, reparative emotional experiences, psychoeducation and skill building into sessions. Common presenting concerns include, but are not limited to anxiety, depression, life transitions, impulse control, low self-esteem, interpersonal difficulties and behavioral concerns.

Becoming a parent can be the most rewarding job, but it also comes with unique challenges. There is no manual on how to best support your child while setting limits and structure. Dr. Blair will help you to navigate some of the challenges of parenthood through support, skill building and behavioral principles. Dr. Blair can show you how to address tantrums, attention seeking behaviors, adjustment concerns and difficulties at school with the goal of helping you feel confident when parenting.

Young adulthood is a time full of excitement and terror. It is a period in one’s life full of choices, transitions and the unknown. Dr. Blair supports young adults in navigating difficulties with self-esteem, relational challenges, anxiety, depression, family conflict, executive functioning and more.  Dr. Blair cares deeply about building relationships with young adults while using a person-centered and insight-oriented approach to therapy.  Dr. Blair also incorporates skill building and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work with young adults.
