HelpPRO: Myra Josephberg, LCSW

Myra Josephberg, LCSW	Last Updated: 05/19/2012

My practice involves working with individuals, couples, geriatric clients and children ranging in age from 4-17. For those children ages 4-12, I have a play therapy room with a puppet theater, 2 forms of sand therapy, doll houses, board games, dress up corner, among other therapeutic toys, which allow children to feel comfortable and protray what's going on through play if they cannot express it in words. I also work with the parents of the child and help them to understand and continue the therapy process at home between visits.

My specialties include but are not limited to: play therapy, couple's counseling, marriage counseling, depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, bereavement, ADHD, autism and aspergers.

My office also houses a warm and caring staff, who will help the client feel comfortable from the time he/she enters the office. I offer a 15 minute telephone free consultation regarding the issue and whether or not I can help.

If interested, please call Myra at 386-775-7726.
