Anne Guinta specializes in the treatment of school-aged children, adolescents, parents, and adults.  Her approach is tailored to the unique needs of each client.  Whether it is working with a child or an adult, she believes that therapy can offer a meaningful opportunity for prevention and intervention when responding to challenges at any stage in life.  In her work with children, she strives to understand the world through the child’s mind while giving them a voice to express their challenges. Together with her clients, she develops practical strategies to better express and manage their symptoms to foster long-lasting change.  Her approach with children involves providing parents with support and guidance, which she believes is essential for change to occur both in and out of the home environment. 

Dr. Guinta also works individually with parents to identify strategies for home that complement their parenting style and develop effective communication skills in the child/parent relationship, as well as within the family.  Her treatment approach with adults includes exploring every-day and persistent life challenges, identifying main goals for treatment, enhancing client self-awareness, and supporting individuals in making meaningful life-long changes.
