-RACHEL NAOMI REMEN
Allegra Magrisso, LCSW is a psychotherapist for adults, children & families, an award-winning author and consultant to other human service providers serving Chicago’s north shore and metropolitan area.
I accompany my clients in the process of resolving conflict and discovering what is meaningful in their lives.
I help children learn coping skills, strengthen a healthy sense of self and surmount developmental challenges in a treatment plan that includes their parent/s or guardian/s.
I provide consultation in schools, for other social workers and for parents in developing parenting skills.
I want to share my excitement about writing and reading with children. Some topics for my author talks include the process of how a book is created, breaking the myth of “but I am not creative,” writing poetry, and ways to develop characters and dialogue.
When Sarah Laughed was inspired by the sentence “Sarah laughed” in the Bible story about Abraham and Sarah. I felt there was more to the story of Sarah’s laughter than was suggested in the Bible. When Sarah Laughed is a light-hearted retelling that fills out the characters of Abraham and Sarah with warmth and humor and speaks to children in a language they can understand.
