Child & Adolescent Psychological Services in Arizona

Offering online therapy support across Arizona for youth who are struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, self-regulation and behavioral challenges.

Comprehensive evaluations are also available in the East Valley, including testing for autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities (such as dyslexia).

Parents often contact me about therapy when their child or teen is not coping with things as well as they used to. They are experiencing increased stress or anxiety that is hard to control. Many are having difficulty dealing with the pressures they face at home, with their peers, or in school. The good news is that therapy is often effective in helping youth regain a sense of control. I work with youth and their families who live throughout Arizona, to get to the root of the challenges so that they can feel better for good.

In addition to my teletherapy services, I also provide comprehensive evaluations for parents who are interested in getting their child tested for other concerns, including for autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities (such as dyslexia). These evaluations are conducted at Ridge Zeller Therapy located in the East Valley.

Whether you are looking to add support for your child through therapy or through an evaluation, I am here to help. You do not have to navigate these challenges alone.

When the problem your child is facing feels overwhelming…

Caring and Compassionate Psychological Support

As a parent and an educator, I understand that finding the right support for your child can be a challenge. I believe that every child is unique and that there is not a “one size fits all” solution. My approach in therapy or when conducting an evaluation is to meet each child and family where they are at, with the caring and compassion they deserve.

When working with a child in therapy, I use an integrated or holistic (mind-body) approach. I pull from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and trauma-focused orientations. My focus is to help your child gain a sense of confidence in their own abilities to navigate life’s stressors.

How Can I Help?

Online Therapy Support

Therapy is often an effective way for youth to learn new skills to manage the stress, anxiety, or low self-esteem they feel. I work with youth and their families to create a plan to address their current challenges so that they can increase their functioning at home and school.

Psychological Evaluations

Comprehensive evaluations can help parents understand more about their child’s strengths and needs. Evaluations are specific to testing for autism, ADHD, and/or learning disabilities (such as dyslexia).
