Dr. Sabrina Chow is an Ohio licensed psychologist and an independent contractor.  She has worked in private practice for over 17 years providing psychological assessment and treatment to children and adolescents.   Dr. Chow specializes in providing therapy to children ages 5-12 and supporting adolescents as they transition from childhood into young adulthood.  Dr. Chow believes in working collaboratively with her clients to identify treatment goals that will make a meaningful difference in their lives.  She works to foster a gentle, supportive, and thoughtful relationship with her clients.  Dr. Chow uses an integrated therapeutic approach that draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and play therapy.  Treatment often focuses on helping children and adolescents communicate their emotions, identify and refrain from negative thinking, develop more effective emotional regulation strategies, and recognize their own individual strengths. 

 

Dr. Chow values the importance of parents in the therapeutic process.  Parents are included in the treatment sessions and sometimes receive separate parent consultation sessions to support their child's or adolescent's treatment goals.  For times when a child or adolescent may not be ready to participate in individual therapy, parents  want general parenting strategies, or parents wish to discuss a particular concern with an expert in child development, Dr. Chow offers short-term, problem-focused parent consultation.  In-person and telehealth sessions available.

 

Dr. Chow earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo.  She went on to obtain her Master of Arts in School Psychology and Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling Psychology from The State University of New York.  She completed pre- and post- doctoral internships in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology at The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.  Before joining Susan Weltner-Brunton, Ph.D. & Associates, she worked in private practice in Redmond Washington. She has special interest and experience in treating anxiety and depression and behavioral disorders including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.  She also helps clients who are undergoing adjustment to significant life changes or managing the day to day stress of academic, family, and social pressures.
