Dr. Malissa Tigges works as a child psychology specialist in Miami, FL.

"Not sure where to start. For the record I am not court mandated anything. We chose Dr Tigges’ office to conduct a Psych eval for purposes of split custody and visitation. Originally I was told eval would cost $600. I booked the appointment and was called next morning after I was on my way that they made a mistake and it would actually be more. Also was told it would take 3 weeks. I am now going on my 7th week and there’s no end in sight. My attorney and I have tried calling Dr Tigges on several occasions and left messages. We have yet to hear back after weeks. I have been promised return calls and nothing. Now I’m seeing that I should’ve done my homework on this place. It has a history of unprofessionalism. My whole case with family court is on hold because of this. I have told them several times and it goes without response. My experience has been horrendous. I would never do business with Dr Tigges again. Don’t take my word. Google her and read the reviews. "

What is Child Psychology?

Child psychology, sometimes called pediatric psychology, is a subspecialty of psychology that focuses on the behavioral and emotional health of children and adolescents. Child psychologists provide evaluation and treatment to children via therapy. Some of the disorders they commonly treat include:

ADHD
Oppositional or defiant behavior
Depression or Anxiety
Tics
Suicidal thoughts
Compulsive behaviors
Developmental delays
Coping with physical illness, including terminal illness and pain

The goal of psychological therapy for children is usually to teach patients skills for coping with stressors and difficult situations in their lives. They may learn or strengthen problem-solving skills. Eventually, with the help of therapy, children's sadness, stress, or anxiety are reduced and their ability to function well is increased.
