Amanda Artese
Dr. Amanda Artese is a licensed clinical psychologist who has several years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. Dr. Artese believes that each family is unique and applies this concept to each relationship. The process begins with an initial phone consultation to help both Dr. Artese and the potential client determine goodness of fit. It is important in choosing a therapist that both the child and family feel comfortable with the therapist. From the onset I work with the family to best understand the client and develop a treatment approach that is tailored to the family’s needs.
Dr. Artese believes that the client and their family lead change in therapy and the therapist works along side them to support and facilitate the change. Therapeutic style and approach varies based on the clients age and need of the family, and includes play, cognitive behavioral, and parent centered therapy.
Dr. Artese has a wide range of clinical experience diagnosing and treating various disorders. Dr. Artese has been trained heavily in treating complex psychological issues, including, PTSD, trauma, abuse and neglect, anxiety, depression, suicidal thinking and behaviors, ADHD, and behavioral disruptions with individuals ranging in age from 4-18.
