Dr. Samantha Sherwood
Introduction
Are you concerned about your child’s emotional well-being, behavior, or ability to cope with a medical condition? As a child and adolescent psychologist, I help young people and their families navigate the unique emotional challenges of growing up, such as anxiety, mood disorders, sleep problems, school stress, or behavioral concerns such as ADHD. I also have specialized training in pediatric health psychology, in which I help families managing chronic illness, pain, or other medical conditions that affect emotional well-being. I provide evidence-based therapy tailored to each child’s developmental needs and family context. I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults adjust to chronic illness, build resilience, and manage emotional and behavioral concerns. I also support parents in improving communication with their child, reducing conflict. My approach is warm and collaborative, and I aim to create a safe space where families feel understood and empowered. Whether your child is facing a new medical diagnosis, struggling with school or peers, or experiencing emotional challenges, I’m here to help. Together, we can work toward helping your child thrive—emotionally, socially, and physically. For more information, please call (702) 323-8355 or visit www.arroyobehavioralhealth.com.
