I worked at a Children's Hospital treating childhood behavior problems, anger, depression, anxiety, & personality issues using play therapy, CBT, DBT, and parent training.

Your problems may seem so overwhelming that you feel helpless. I believe in a better future for you, and can give you the tools and insight to help get you through this difficult time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Is your child experiencing emotional or behavioral problems?

To reach your child and get through the blocks so you can talk to your child again, you need a compassionate, accepting expert who can use their creativity and sensitivity to build back the relationships.
No Peace… Ever The noise is deafening, and it’s coming from inside your home. It’s always something. Screens, meals, chores, homework, bedtime… the fighting never stops. The outbursts, shouts, slammed doors, and stone faces make you feel like you want to leave and never return. A Family in Name Only The tension is so thick; it’s like a steel wall dividing you. Instead of enjoying time and space together, you simply hope “bumping into each other” doesn’t result in someone getting hurt. All you’ve ever dreamed of was having a family full of fun and happy memories… But your home has become a nightmare. And It’s Killing You!

My work is integrative, combining elements of cognitive-behavior therapy, functional analytic psychotherapy and contemporary psychoanalysis to assess, engage and work toward a resolution for your needs, or those of your child and family.
Every person who chooses therapy does so for a unique combination of reasons, as my patients have revealed to me in twenty years of private practice. No one fits into simple categories, teens especially. Some are impacted by events long ago, others by recent setbacks, while most are triggered by a combination of influences known and unknown. Working with children and adolescents, I understand these manifold pressures are sometimes accompanied by resistance to change, thereby limiting the otherwise positive support offered by family and friends. That’s when I can help.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Hewlett, NY provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Hewlett build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
