Dr. Bly works from the premise that comfort and safety in the relationship between psychologist and client is essential to change and growth. Her style is warm, interactive, respectful, real, and above all collaborative. Dr. Bly has found therapy to be most effective when both the psychologist and the client are working together to increase insight and to identify realistic goals as well as the most helpful means of reaching those goals.

The aim of therapy is to help children and adolescents develop new and adaptive skills for coping with feelings, interacting with others and converting problem behaviors into effective communication. The psychologists at PPG are specially trained to understand the ways in which a child's behaviors reflect the challenges, stressors and experiences in different areas of their lives.

From time to time, the demands of parenting can become overwhelming and frustrating. Because parents play such a key role in their children's healthy development, we are pleased to offer parents assistance in developing the tools they need to successfully navigate the challenges that can arise in any phase of development.

Adult therapy helps individuals develop insights and tools designed to improve their emotional, behavioral and relationship functioning. As your understanding of your own behaviors deepens and as you develop a greater mastery of your feelings, you can expect your personal and professional life to improve.

No close relationship is perfect and healthy communication is a challenge at the best of times. When a relationship faces difficulties brought about by individual change or by an impactful, reshaping force like parenthood, communication can break down altogether. When change negotiation and communication starts to become too difficult to manage on your own, couples therapy with a trained and objective professional can offer the solution you need.
