Dr. Daitzman Clinical Psychologist

I work mostly with adults and couples. I see some teenagers and children often with social-developmental problems that require a psychological assessment, for shyness and social anxiety or when part of my overall treatment of a family system. I also refer. This means you can call me and I will refer you to the appropriate doctor specializing in your problem.

Anxiety is the most common negative emotion. Anxiety works for us in small doses whereby helping you be more aware of emerging problems. In contrast, in high doses anxiety is debilitating impairing quality of life, shutting you down, making it hard to focus, be productive or remember. I can help. Sometimes, anxiety has a clear source or precipitant and other times it is more "free floating."

It is hard to imagine that during a marriage there are not better days than others. On your wedding day, it is hard to imagine that one day you might be seeking marriage counseling. However, things change. We live in a complex world torn in many directions.

Some stressors and conflicts can be anticipated, as what are known as "normal life span" problems: marriage, children, parenting, schooling, finances, sex, communication and other so called "normal problems of living."Thus, if you are experiencing a problem in your marriage, for all you know it is "normal" and anticipated, but to you it is a major crisis and concern.

If you are suffering from feelings of sadness, despair or troubled thoughts, Dr. Reid Daitzman, Ph. D. can help. He can help you figure out what to do when depressed.

I specialize in short-term interventions. A clinical focus in parenting is to (1) increase desirable child behavior, (2) improve parent-child interactions and (3) bring about a positive family atmosphere.

This includes (1) establishing realistic expectations for children's behavior at particular ages, (2) talking more clearly and positively with children and (3) working effectively with school personnel to help children develop academically and socially.Being a parent is always demanding. Every age has its "problems" and challenges.
