Rhea Wagle, Ph.D.
Child & Teen Psychology Services​
Welcome
I'm so glad you're here. If you are a parent or caregiver seeking support for your child or teen, know that you're not alone. You've come to a place of care, understanding, and expertise. I am a child and adolescent psychologist. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate emotional and behavioral challenges, build resilience, and thrive. I look forward to partnering with you to support your child’s growth and well-being.​
Specialty Areas
Trauma
Trauma can have a profound impact on children of any age and can lead to many challenges if left unresolved. I utilize evidence-based practices, such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to help you and your child better understand trauma, develop coping tools, and help your child empower themselves. My goal is to help your child’s traumatic experience become a part of their story, rather than become their entire story.
Behavioral Difficulties
It is common for young children to exhibit tantrums, defiance, or aggression. When these behaviors increase in intensity or frequency, it may signal a need for more support. My goal is to help you feel a regained sense of control in your parenting approach and help your child with their regulation. I utilize evidence-based practices such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which helps stabilize behaviors and strengthens relationships.
Anxiety & Depression
Anxiety and depression often look different in children and teens. Symptoms may include irritability, difficulty sleeping, lack of motivation in school, and social isolation. I will work with you and your child to better understand their anxiety or depression, process challenging emotions, and develop coping tools. I utilize evidence-based practices, such as Coping Cat, CBT, and DBT-informed principles to help your child or teen.
