Dr. Joy A. Duckett is a clinical psychologist who earned her degree from Chestnut Hill College in 2011. She specializes in the assessment and treatment of behavioral issues, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder. Dr. Duckett also has experience in providing drug and alcohol counseling, marriage and family therapy, premarital counseling, and group therapy. She utilizes cognitive behavioral techniques to promote changes in her clients’ maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors. As a trained family therapist, however, she also considers the ways in which families and other systems impact the individuals with whom she works. Although much of her work with clients is considered “present-centered”, Dr. Duckett understands that, oftentimes, individuals’ current struggles are rooted in unresolved issues from earlier stages of life. As such, she supports her clients in gaining awareness of such issues -and the recurring patterns that have developed because of them- to help them see the ways in which they can avoid further distress. Finally, Dr. Duckett, considers the therapeutic relationship as central to her work with clients, and she believes that it is through this alliance that self-exploration is encouraged, insight is gained, and positive change occurs.

Dr. Robin J. Charleston is a family psychologist who graduated from Seton Hall University in 2009 . She has over 10 years experience providing individual, group, and family counseling to adolescents and their families in a variety of mental health settings including residential treatment centers, outpatient agencies, and a partial hospital program. Dr. Charleston specializes in the treatment of emotional and behavioral issues that include, oppositional-defiant disorder, conduct disorder, depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, as well as a range of other disorders that undermine individuals' functioning. She works primarily from family systems and cognitive-behavioral theoretical frameworks. Consistent with a family systems perspective, Dr. Charleston believes that many of the problems with which individuals present originate in their families of origins. As such, much of the therapy time is utilized exploring family dynamics, early childhood experiences, and the ways in which these have contributed to an individual's current functioning. Prior to her transition into private practice full-time, she worked for eight years with adolescent boys who experience a range of emotional and behavioral disturbances. In addition to her private practice work, she consults with an agency providing psychological evaluations to children and their families in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
