Iliana F. Pantoleon, MS
Clinical Psychologist
Adult, Adolescent &
Child Psychotherapy
I am a Master’s Level Clinical Psychologist specializing in early childhood development. I obtained my degrees from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece and my credentials are equivalent to degrees in Clinical and Counseling Psychology obtained in the United States. My education and training are psychoanalytic oriented.
Besides psychotherapy and counseling, I also provide parents’ educational classes. My belief is that educating people in matters of psychology is at the core of mental health. When I work with families, my first goal is to provide knowledge regarding child emotional development. In my classes, we can discuss everything that can be overwhelming- from the challenge of having a new born, the tornado like experience of parenting a toddler, as well as how to navigate the difficult teenage years successfully.
Expressing the unexpressed and sharing with others can give great relief. If after our discussions, you still worry about yourself or child, then I can provide more personalized help and together we can build the therapy plan that fits best to your family’s needs.
Daily life and parenting can be very challenging.
Education and therapy can offer relief.
