Dr. Jennifer Twyford welcomes you.
How do I know if it's time for me or my child to see a psychologist?
There are many challenges throughout development and it’s normal to have some difficult times. If the problem seems more serious than in other same-age children or it is concerning you, your child, or someone else in your child’s life (pediatrician, teacher, or other caring adult), it may be time to consult with a psychologist.
I am Dr. Jennifer Twyford. I am a California licensed psychologist (PSY28085) and specialize in the mental health needs of children from preschool through adolescence. I provide individual therapy to children, teens, and adults; family therapy; and consultation to parents in Santa Barbara, CA. Using a strengths-based approach, I tailor research based techniques to honor family values and fit the needs of individuals, their families, and their lives.
