About Dr. Freeman
Welcome! It is no easy task to entrust your inner thoughts and experiences with a stranger-but I am committed to meeting you right where you are in your life.
I treat children 10-14 (with direct parental participation), adolescents (14+) and adults in individual, family and group therapy. We can talk about the best format for you or your loved one's particular presenting issues.
In our therapy sessions, expect an interactive and collaborative experience. I won't just listen passively; I'll offer insights, ask questions, and challenge you to reflect. My goal is to help you grow by identifying and building on your unique strengths and also acknowledging areas for potential growth. I very actively provide tools and ideas to make the most of your time and guide you towards your goals. Your time and money are valuable, and I'm here to make sure each session is worthwhile.
I encourage transparency, value-driven decision making, humor, self-compassion, and making room for your thoughts and feelings. I will ask you to recognize and use your strengths, determine if your behaviors are aligned with your values, connect with your Self, and increase your psychological flexibility.
My particular clinical interests include parenting, anxiety, health anxiety, OCD, food allergies in both the individual and family context, family of origin therapy and working with physicians and other health care providers.
Finally, I love to laugh. A lot. While therapy can at times be difficult and outside of your comfort zone, that does not mean that it had to be all serious, all the time. Being able to laugh at our humanness together is one of the greatest healers.
