Emma-Lorraine Baaba Bart-Plange, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in developmental and behavioral pediatrics, treating children with a wide range of emotional, learning, behavior or developmental issues. Dr. Bart-Plange’s practice focuses on children struggling with chronic stress, developmental trauma, acculturation (adjusting to a new culture), violence exposure and more. She understands that the stressors facing trauma-exposed children and adolescents occur in many settings, so Dr. Bart-Plange emphasizes the importance of collaborating with families, other providers, schools, and community supports in her practice. She works closely with her patients and their families to understand their unique issues in order to find the best treatment.
Dr. Bart-Plange is trained in a number of evidence-based practices, including:
- Attachment, regulation and competency framework (ARC)
- Interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT)
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Managing and adapting practices (MAP)
- Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT)
