“It is in playing and only in playing that the individual child or adult is able to be creative and to use the whole personality, and it is only in being creative that the individual discovers the self.”
-Donald Woods Winnicott

Dr. Quiterio provides psychiatric services for children, adolescents, young adults up to the age of 24 years old and parents, including soon-to-be parents. Raising children can be a rewarding, transformative and wonderful experience, but it can also be frustrating, exhausting and challenging especially if you do not know how to help your child.

Dr. Quiterio offers a variety of therapeutic modalities, including play therapy, and works collaborately with parents as an essential component of therapy for their child.

For those adolescents and young adults who have dealt with trauma and distressing life experiences, she uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) in the healing process.

For soon-to-be parents, Dr. Quiterio provides a therapeutic space to reflect on their hopes and desires for their baby, and to develop a better understanding of who they are and who they will become to their child.
