Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists in Mount Kisco, NY
I have done hundreds of evaluations of children struggling with life and/or learning.
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.

Psychotherapy is a process of accessing the lifeforce within you and learning how it can be expressed in accordance with your authentic life values. Whether it is the challenges brought on by anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, substance abuse/addiction or disordered eating that brings you to therapy, I work to establish a collaborative relationship that grows out of your personal narrative. Together we will discover how to overcome what is preventing you from leading the life you want. I have expertise in EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and CBT, DBT and certification in treating eating disorders, addictions and alcoholism.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents 3+ in a fun setting. I offer psychotherapy with creativity. I specialize in child development. Art and play come naturally to children. It is often more effective than just talk therapy. Children often have difficulty articulating thoughts, sensations, emotions or perceptions. There are many metaphors in Art and play that mimic children’s everyday lives. I am trained in picking up and understanding metaphors. Studies on Neurobiology show that self regulation occurs due to the sensory characteristics of Art Therapy.

Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
