ABOUT DR. GELFAND
I am a licensed psychologist and specialize in services for children, adolescents, and their families. I completed my undergraduate work at the College of William and Mary and received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Loyola College in Maryland. I completed my pediatric psychology internship at A.I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware, as well as my postdoctoral fellowship, specializing in children and adolescents with chronic illness. I have previously provided both therapy and psycho-educational evaluations in a variety of settings, including community mental health, pediatric hospitals, and private practice.
DR. GELFAND'S THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
I specialize in evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents with a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety disorders, OCD, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), depression, and AD/HD. I offer both individual and family therapy services, and often use cognitive behavioral techniques in my approach to treatment. At the same time, I am flexible in my approach because I truly want to establish a good 'fit' with each of my clients and their families. I strive to create a warm, trusting, and supportive environment so that my clients feel comfortable in discussing difficulties, concerns, and questions. I feel that parents and/or other caregivers are often an essential part of the treatment process. It is my hope that I can work together with my clients and their families to help bring about change and create a more positive future.
I look forward to working with you!
