Introduction

Whether navigating life transitions, mental health challenges, or self-esteem issues, I focus on helping young people build the inner resources they need to thrive. I am a child therapist and co-owner of Kramer and Walker Counseling LCSW, PLLC. I work exclusively with "Beginning Minds"—young people ages 4 to 21. My areas of specialization include trauma, adjustment and stress-related issues, anxiety, depression, and other mood disturbances. By emphasizing strengths, fostering supportive relationships, and promoting healthy decision-making, I strive to guide young people toward becoming their best selves. I collaborate closely with families to nurture each child's resilience and creativity while working toward shared goals. I use a variety of approaches, including Child-Centered Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Blending evidence-based practices with a warm, relational approach, I aim to create a safe space where youth feel seen, heard, and valued. A standard 45-minute session is $35-$150 depending on your level of income. A sliding scale option is available to ensure session prices are affordable for your family. I can additionally provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Please visit my website to learn more.
