What types of challenges can Lamia help children with?
- She works with a wide spectrum of concerns that impact children’s emotional and psychological well-being.

How does she involve parents and families in the process?
- Lamia views parents and caregivers as central partners in therapy. She regularly involves families by sharing strategies, providing parenting guidance, and offering tools to reinforce progress at home. This ensures that therapeutic gains extend beyond the session and become part of the child’s daily environment. By strengthening collaboration between therapist, child, and family, Lamia fosters consistency, stability, and a shared sense of purpose in the child’s care.
What long-term benefits can therapy provide for children?
