Child Therapists in Chappaqua, NY
I know that the decision to begin your child in therapy can be a difficult one.
My private practice is dedicated to working with children and adolescents, helping them learn how to express their emotions and gain control over their behaviors. I use principals of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and psyco-dynamic relations to teach young people to overcome difficulties from anxiety, depression, and other issues. For children dealing with pressures such as divorce, friendship difficulties and academic stress I offer a safe environment for them to give voice to their concerns and develop a problem solving plan. During the entire process I provide critical parental feedback.

No matter the approach, we strive to create a team-like atmosphere to support your child and create a more pleasant home environment for everyone.
There’s no handbook that truly prepares you for parenting, and it can be even more complex if your child or adolescent has anxiety or behavioral challenges. As a parent, it can be incredibly difficult to see your child in distress, and not knowing how to respond in these moments can leave you feeling confused and powerless. If your child’s anxiety is stopping them from participating in everyday activities, or if you are a parent struggling with how to manage your child’s behavior, you and your child can gain the support and tools you need to make a positive change.

I work mostly with children/adolescents with a variety of issues such as anxiety/depression, poor self-image, family relationships and teen "drama.
With over 20 years experience, I have developed a level of insight that is critical in helping your child work through his/her issues.

Instead you are brave and smart to face your issues and get help for them.

As a married parent of grown children who has also counseled hundreds of parents and couples, I bring a depth of experience to this work, and a continued willingness to learn.
Coping skills are important, and I will certainly help you with those. But you want to really live your life, not just get through it. Merely coping is not enough, you want to thrive! That's my working assumption. If you don't think that's possible, that's where our work begins, to figure out how you can regain hope, and the belief that vitality is your birthright. Clearing space for creativity is an important part of the process. Don't have a creative bone in your body, you say? I say you're wrong. Let's talk.

Parenting doesn't come with an instruction manual. Certainly if your child struggles emotionally, socially or academically, parenting can be even more challenging. You might be thinking your child will not be able to go away to college or live independently. Your worry and heartache may be affecting your relationship with your spouse, your bond with your children and your enjoyment of your life. I have spent the last 20 years helping parents like you to understand your child, to have a closer relationship with your spouse and children, and to alleviate your worries and pain.
