Dr. Champagne currently works with individuals from early childhood to young adults, that present with a variety of diagnoses that involve anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD, trauma, and personality concerns. She is passionate about the involvement of parents within her work with child clients and believes that this involvement is essential in providing her clients with the best possible care. She provides both talk and play therapy interventions, depending on the developmental level of her clients as well. She uses principles from CBT as well as incorporating creative/movement-based interventions into her work, depending on her client’s needs. Dr. Champagne believes that it is important to create a therapeutic space that is collaborative and open as well as having a strengths-based approach to treatment.
