Vickey Walker

I believe every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood. My passion for working with children and families comes from witnessing how early support can change the entire trajectory of a child’s life. When children are given the tools to understand their emotions, communicate their needs, and feel safe in their environment, they don’t just cope—they begin to thrive. My work integrates evidence-based approaches including CBT, TF-CBT, play therapy, family systems therapy, and strengths-based interventions to support emotional growth, behavior change, and healthy family relationships.

Areas of expertise include child and adolescent therapy, anxiety, anger, emotional regulation, self-esteem development, depression, grief, behavioral challenges, ADHD, high-functioning autism, trauma-informed care, play-based therapy, parent coaching, and collaborative care with families, healthcare providers, and schools.

With a background in both hospital-based care and school systems, I bring a deep understanding of how emotional wellness impacts learning, behavior, and family dynamics. At the heart of my work is a simple mission: To help children feel empowered, families feel supported, and communities feel connected.
