Local Psychologist Launches Child Psychology Center in Ephraim
July 18, 2025 - 07:29
When Ephraim resident and clinical psychologist Dr. Alexandra Pillat was diagnosed with dyslexia and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a child, she assumed it meant she was “stupid.” That early misconception shaped her journey into the field of psychology, where she now aims to change the narrative for children facing similar challenges.
Dr. Pillat has opened a new child psychology center in Ephraim, dedicated to supporting children and their families as they navigate the complexities of mental health. The center offers a range of services, including assessments, therapy, and educational workshops designed to empower both children and parents.
With a focus on creating a nurturing environment, Dr. Pillat emphasizes the importance of understanding and addressing the unique needs of each child. Her mission is to foster resilience and self-esteem, helping children realize their potential beyond their diagnoses. The center aims to be a beacon of hope and support for families in the community.
