Expert, Developmentally-Appropriate Care

As a family psychology practice, we help people of all ages work through a wide variety of concerns. Sometimes these concerns are best addressed in individual or family therapy. At other times, working through issues in group therapy, where clients see that they do not struggle alone, is very beneficial. Thus we offer numerous therapy groups, as described on our website.

In addition to the gamut of child, adolescent, adult and family problems for which people seek us out, we offer specialized treatment in 6 areas.

The Specialty Clinics at Susan Myket, Ph.D. & Associates:

Anxiety	Early Childhood
Assessment	Eating Disorders
Autism Spectrum	Pediatric Psychology
