Helping children and adolescents thrive emotionally and socially through understanding and empowerment.

Hi, I'm Kirsten Greenfield, a licensed therapist with a passion for helping school-age children thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. I specialize in working with kids who are struggling with behavioral challenges, anxiety, OCD, those who have experienced trauma and school-related difficulties—including school avoidance and refusal. Before entering private practice, I worked as a school social worker and elementary counselor for five years, giving me a deep understanding of the academic environment and school systems. I bring this experience into my therapeutic work to help children feel more confident, capable, and supported both in and out of the classroom. I believe that therapy should be a place where kids feel understood and empowered. I also work closely with parents and caregivers to provide tools, insights, and strategies that support progress outside of sessions. If you’re looking for a compassionate, skilled, and practical approach to help your child thrive, I’m here to support your family every step! I am formally trained in TF-CBT (Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused Therapy to support emotional regulation, behavior change, and healthy communication. I also offer Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and other parent-focused modalities. When needed, I incorporate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) skills to help children manage anxiety and OCD symptoms.
