Treatment Philosophy

Dr. Jungclas' personal style is warm, sympathetic, and friendly. With younger clients, “Dr. Lisa” employs a variety of play therapy activities, using puppets, art, role play and games to help a child learn about themselves and resolve problems. She enjoys working with adolescents, frequently establishing productive relationships with those who initially resist therapy. With a client’s permission, she may engage parents and families, and consult with teachers or physicians when appropriate.
