Natasha Hill, LCSW
I specialize in helping toddlers, children, teens and their families work through parenting challenges, trauma, loss and social/emotional difficulties. Call today to discuss individual, family and group therapy services.
Working with toddlers, children and teens
Parenting can be a challenging business, trust me, I know! Every once in a while, children's needs can seem too overwhelming. That's when some extra support and guidance may be needed. My name is Natasha Hill, LCSW and I am a licensed child therapist who specializes in issues that effect infants, toddlers, children, teens and their families.
Unfortunately, parents may find themselves frustrated when looking for professional support to address issues concerning their children. Children have their own specific developmental and emotional milestones that make additional concerns even that more overwhelming when they surface. Helpful relatives, supportive friends and knowledgable teachers and pediatricians are sometimes not enough for parents who have specific concerns about their child or teen's emotional well being. At times, those around you may not take your concerns as seriously as you do. In my practice there is no issue that is too small or too large for us to work through together.
Therapy services designed to uniquely fit your child's stage of life: Toddler, Child and Teen Issues
There are a limited number of therapists that have experience specifically with working with toddlers, children and teens. Many therapists will state that they work with "any issue", however it is a challenge to be well experienced in issues ranging from marital conflict and gambling addiction to sibling conflict and school phobias. I have devoted my practice to working exclusively with toddlers, children, teens and their families. I have committed myself to the education, knowledge and experience of toddler, children and teen issues. I understand the different stages of emotional growth and development and how they impact toddlers, children and teens. I have over ten years experience working with children, teens and their families. I am a licensed clinical social worker through the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers and The Association of Play Therapy. I completed a post-graduate program from Arizona State University's Harris Institute for an advanced specialty in infant, toddler and preschool mental health. I have worked in both in-patient and out-patient settings working with teenagers and their families who were experiencing emotionally and behaviorally challenging periods in their lives. I have provided in-home and center-based therapy services to toddlers and their families - offering support and guidance during the early years of life. I have been used periodically as an expert in the field for articles in Arizona Parenting and Raising Arizona Kid's Magazine. But, Most importantly, I enjoy my work and the young lives and caring families I am honored to help and support during some challenging and difficult times.
