Meet Our Clinicians

We make sure that our clinicians not only have excellent clinical and personal qualities but also are trained and certified in treatments most likely to help our clients improve.

Who We Are

Providing treatment that really works is our mission at Thriving Child Center. We make sure that our clinicians not only have excellent clinical and personal qualities but also are trained and certified in treatments most likely to help our clients improve. Many of our providers are licensed psychologists with Ph.D.’s and Psy. D’s, meaning that they completed over 6 years of intensive training after college and earned a doctoral degree. Other clinicians have Master’s Degrees and specialty training in evidence-based treatments. Every clinician in the practice has over 10 years of clinical experience and specializes in the treatment that they provide. Our goal is to find you and your family the perfect fit so that you can make rapid and meaningful treatment progress.
