Child Therapists in Nutley, NJ
Are you feeling anxious and out of control when you think about your child? Do you have questions about relationships or parenting? I have a background in both development and psychotherapy. I teach parents about development and help them learn what is "getting in the way" of parenting the way they want to. I also help couples "get on the same page" with parenting. Children come here to enhance development, learn social skills and have good self esteem. Children with developmental, behavioral and sensory concerns find a safe place to grow and explore. Parent Coaching is also available.

To parents, their children are the most important part of their lives. No one wants to see their child struggle. Navigating the difficult years from preteen to adolescent to young adult can be a daunting task. In my work with young people, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help work through issues related to emotional difficulties, academic struggles, and behavioral problems. CBT focuses on learning new ways to think, feel, and behave and addresses pressing issues. As treatment progresses, I want patients to feel more able to utilize new strategies and skills while improving the quality of their life, education, relationships, and experiences.

We all want what’s best for ourselves, children, and others. You may notice a change over time for either you or your child “not feeling like my usual self” and not handling things in the same way at home, work, school, or in interactions with others. If you have ever felt like you do not know what to do or say therapy can be a place to work through feelings, thoughts, and situations that you have tried your hardest and best to respond to but feel at a loss or stuck. Therapy can help with sorting out why these changes have occurred in order to be able to move forward and feel like you are “back on track” and “in a better place”.

In treating families, my conviction is that demonstrated unconditional love is the birthright of every child.
As a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you to enhance your personal growth. I practice dynamic problem-solving with children, adolescents, and adults, coping with the life cycle stresses of "full catastrophe living", as described by Jon Kabat-Zinn in his book of the same name.
The purpose of therapy is to reduce suffering, to develop a more affirming sense of self and to change damaging beliefs. My view is that we all need, at times, to create a space where we can practice a new attitude toward life, the world and ourselves.
