Karla FittipaldiMarriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

About

I work with children 2-10 years old who need support coping with stressors in their life: family changes, grief/loss, trauma, school/peer challenges that result in symptoms of anxiety, depression or aggression. Children show us they are struggling through their behavior and my role is to help identify and unravel the feelings under the behavior. I utilize play based therapy, art therapy, and therapeutic books to validate and process feelings. Together we explore a variety of coping strategies, including sensory materials, music making and mindfulness. Treatment is individualized to each child based on age and presenting symptoms.
