Children and Teens

Psychotherapy for Children and Adolescents

Children and adolescents are amazingly resilient and can recover from emotional trauma. With individual and family psychotherapy, they can overcome problems which, if not addressed early, could become major difficulties in their adult lives. Our experienced professional staff, most of whom have 30+ years of clinical experience, help children and adolescents achieve and maintain emotional wellness.

Childhood and adolescence are the prime times to help young people establish strong values and create healthy habits of mind and body in order to enhance future success.

One of Many Success Stories with Dr. Webbink

“Dr. Webbink has been instrumental in the healing process for my family. The abuse and trauma was so toxic and dangerous that it led to us meeting Dr. Webbink through DC Superior Court, Crimes and Victims Department. The therapy she provided was instrumental for me and my children moving forward in life and becoming successful people of society. Dr. Webbink introduced new ways of dealing with the trauma and how to process it without the perpetrator’s apology. Dr. Webbink is very convincing in acknowledging the pain but still holding you accountable in a way that empowers your weakness. Of course, I was a little uncomfortable but I trusted the process until I saw the sunshine. You are an Angel on Earth that conveys love in everything, such as the teddy bear image to think about that you gave my son many years ago as an adolescent that he still has as an adult man with a loving wife and two sweet daughters.” Cora Julia
