Child Therapist

Anthony Troyer

For parents looking for a therapeutic intervention for children, Anthony will be a good fit. A few questions to help you decide if Anthony could help your family: Is your child struggling behaviorally at school? Has your child been exposed to an adverse childhood experience that is impacting their ability to cope or regulate big emotions? Do they struggle with day-to-day tasks and listening to instruction from adult figures? Are they struggling to emotionally connect or engage in relationships with close attachment figures? Are you and your child struggling to find an effective way of communicating and attuning? Does your child "melt down" in a way that leaves the family exhausted?

Anthony's passion in therapy is to work with children and their dominant attachment figures who are struggling with overall connection, communication, and healing attachment trauma. He is trained in and specializes in a therapy technique known as Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) — an effective therapy model that engages children and their primary attachment figures (parents, foster parents, grandparents, adoptive parents) to establish better connection, communication, and understanding of the needs of both the child and the family system as a whole.

Rather than starting from a behavioral mindset, Anthony works to understand a child's behaviors from the inside out. He utilizes TBRI to help children better understand their needs and how that works in alignment with boundaries, appropriate discipline or redirection, and overall communication and emotional regulation. Anthony engages dominant attachment figures in therapy because he believes the family unit serves as the greatest resource for the child.
