Shadab Jannati, PsyD

Welcome to my practice. I have over 20 years of experience working with children who exhibit emotional, developmental, behavioral , and social challenges. I utilize strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Applied Behavior Analysis, play therapy, and mindfulness to assist children with managing their emotions and behaviors. I am passionate about helping children feel heard and connected, recognize their strengths, and be more confident. I believe that all behavior is communicative, and children are not simply misbehaving but rather, are communicating their thoughts and feelings through their actions. Young children are not always equipped with the tools necessary to express their emotions verbally so instead they may act them out. I can help your child find more effective ways of expressing and coping with their big feelings. My approach is to help parents understand what is underlying and driving their child’s behaviors so that they can respond appropriately to foster healthy emotional development. My goal is to help your child communicate appropriately, learn how to regulate their big emotions, and improve conflict resolution skills. Change can't happen without parent involvement. I provide individual therapy for children, parent/child sessions, as well as parent consultations to learn strategies to help their child. I welcome you to contact me for a 15 minute consultation to see if I am the right fit for you and your family.
