CARING, PROFESSIONAL AND COMPETENT CHILD & FAMILY PSYCHOLOGIST SERVICES  Wynns Family Psychology is a specialty practice dedicated to serving children, adolescents, and families. Our focus is to deliver high-quality therapy treatment, testing, and consultations from our team of doctoral-level psychologists. Here you can find more specific information about our therapy services and evaluation services.
Despite children and modern families facing many complex issues, parents often still feel ashamed, responsible, discouraged or hopeless when their child is having problems. But seeking help from a child psychologist doesn't mean you’ve failed as a parent. Rather, it means you recognize your child, adolescent or teen is hurting or challenged.
Our focus at Wynns Family Psychology is not on blame and negativity – it’s on solutions. We want every family to succeed and believe in the inherent strength and resiliency within each child and adolescent. Kids respond well to positive, solution-focused therapy. So we form an encouraging and collaborative team with parents and children, while actively participating in achieving your goals. Our approach to child therapy and testing is always professional, customized, and confidential. Wynns Family Psychology is committed to helping your family make important life changes during difficult times, finding the most effective solutions to your problems, and successfully guiding your children away from the cycle of negative behaviors & toward emotional well-being.
There are many ways a child psychologist can assist you. Consider talking to a child psychologist when your child or adolescent is:
• Sad or depressed
• Anxious or fearful
• Having problems controlling anger or frustration
• Performing poorly or inconsistently in school academics
• Having difficulty making or keeping friends
• Demonstrating poor social skills
• Getting into trouble at home or problems at school (wcpss)
• Dealing with a major life change such as a move, separation,
divorce, death of a family member or friend, or change
within the family
• Showing signs of Autism or Asperger's Syndrome
• Showing signs of high I Q, Academic Giftedness, or
preschooler readiness for Kindergarten
• Showing signs of ADHD or a Learning Disability
And while Wynns Family Psychology specializes in children, adolescents, and families, we also enjoy working with individual adults and couples. Here you can find more specific information about our therapy services, testing services and doctoral-level psychologists.

FREE "NO WIMPY PARENTING" WORKSHOP
AT THE ARCHANGEL CENTER
FEBRUARY 28, 2012 — CARY NC
 Do you feel like your kids have lost respect for you and your rules? Do you often lose your temper and feel as if your children are masters at “pushing your buttons?” There’s an epidemic in our country of frustrated parents who have lost power in their own homes. After hearing examples from clients about their general lack of effective parenting, child and family psychologist expert Dr. Kristen Wynns, a mom of two children herself, was inspired to develop "No Wimpy Parenting" resources and parenting strategies. NoWimpyParenting.com is a place for parents to find the tools and motivation for gaining back their power and authority. This event is sponsored by St. Michael School PTO and Health and Wellness Committee. Learn more about our FREE No Wimpy Parenting Workshop at The Archangel Center.

HOW TO APOLOGIZE AND MEAN IT –
NBC 17 MY CAROLINA TODAY MARRIAGE VIDEO
With Valentine's Day around the corner, many cards and gifts come with three little words plastered on them.. I love you. But couples and families often neglect two little words that have the power to save a marriage or heal a rift between a parent and child…. I'm sorry! Apologizing shows commitment when you place your relationship and your partner's feelings ahead of your pride and are able to say "It's more important to me to have your love than to be right." Why is it so hard to utter those two small words? For some reason, many of us find it very difficult to apologize to our spouses. Those two words "I'm sorry" seem to either get stuck in our throats or come out sounding fake and insincere. This is a phenomenon that affects all relationships, but nowhere is it as widespread as it is in marriage. Learn the five elements that need to be covered in order for an apology to be truly effective. You can watch the full video interview on this page or view the larger NBC 17 My Carolina Today marriage video here.
CARY MAGAZINE ARTICLE:
OVERCOMING SCHOOL ANXIETY
For many preschool-age children, school anxiety is a real problem that leads to stress, somatic symptoms such as headaches and stomach aches, and behavior problems. In fact, school anxiety is often part and parcel of school refusal, which can be one of the most stressful issues parents face. Parents often feel helpless, guilty and overwhelmed. So what can you do if your preschooler is experiencing school anxiety?
