Slow Down Psychology

Dr. Slow Down, a dedicated psychologist specializing in tweens and teens, understands the frustration of parents who encounter blank-stare professionals treating their children as mere diagnoses. He is committed to providing a therapeutic experience that recognizes each child as a unique human being. Parents often sit across the table from well-meaning professionals who label their children as defiant or disrespectful, leaving them feeling overwhelmed and in search of something more meaningful. Dr. Down believes that quick fixes only scratch the surface and that families deserve an emotionally transformative experience. He helps teens and their families heal their relationships without resorting to blame, punishment, or enabling behaviors. With a background in school psychology, many of Dr. Down's clients also enjoy enhanced educational experiences. His additional training in parent guidance, mindfulness, and mood disorders has profoundly impacted countless irritable and explosive kiddos. Recognizing that parenting an explosive child can be exhausting and confusing, Dr. Slow Down offers a collaborative, emotionally safe space where parents can explore the root of their child's distress. Strengthening the parent-child bond can significantly enhance mental health, and Dr. Down is here to help bring joy back into the home.
