Kristin Swanson, PsyD, is a dedicated psychologist specializing in early childhood development. She understands that early childhood is a time of tremendous growth, where a young child's ability to communicate, solve problems, socialize, and understand feelings is constantly evolving. Children gain independence and confidence, experience joy in successes, and learn the art of perseverance. However, in this natural progression, moments of struggle may sometimes overshadow achievements. Kristin recognizes that when a child's moods and behaviors become problematic or impact social relationships, school performance, or family well-being, it's essential to seek professional support. With substantial expertise in addressing behavioral issues, emotion regulation, adaptive coping strategies, and childhood anxiety, she focuses on toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary age children, alongside their families. Kristin employs an eclectic treatment approach tailored to each family's unique needs, offering play therapy, parent guidance, and parent-child sessions. She places a strong emphasis on the importance of relationships and attachment, believing that it is within the context of healthy, nurturing connections that children and families can truly grow and thrive.
