About me

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 10 years experience working with individuals, families and children. I have spent the last decade working with our military population and their families both as an active duty social worker and as a civilian clinician. I have worked with the adolescent population for over 20 years and in a variety of environments ranging from juvenile detention, residential treatment, inpatient and outpatient treatment and within the schools. I understand the world views of adolescents can change quickly depending on the situation and how challenging it can be to parent during this timeframe. I have worked with teens who have trauma history, anger issues, self harming behaviors, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship issues, LGTB concerns and ADHD.

I use several different approaches to include cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused, behavioral modification, play therapy, psychodynamic and humanistic counseling. The relationship between client and therapist is very important and with teens, it is the most important factor, and the teens with whom I work have a voice in the therapeutic process. I enjoy the unique dynamics that exist with the teen population and also recognize the the importance of parental involvement in the treatment process.

It is a privilege to be trusted to work with your child and look forward to working with you and your child during this challenging time!

Dr. Hampton is compassionate, flexible, competent, and funny. She patiently supported me through dilemmas so that I could find my own way. I have grown immensely with her help and in ways I could not have imagined at the beginning. I'd recommend her to anyone.
