Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Thoughts • Feelings • Behaviors

Counseling and Therapy for Children and Adolescents in Westchester County, NY.

I provide individual counseling and therapeutic services to children and adolescents inside and/or outside of the office. Although, I consider myself an "eclectic style therapist", I primarily incorporate CBT activities into my sessions.

CBT has a high response rate and is an effective treatment of anxiety disorders and more in children.

 
 
Who says you have to sit on a couch at therapy? I can meet your child at a park, basketball court, playground and even your house. This will not only build amazing rapport but your child may even like therapy!I can a-2.png
 

I will help your child...

  • identify negative or anxiety provoking thoughts and learn to replace with better ones
  • face their fears through exposure leading to a reduction in anxiety
  • feel comfortable
  • understand that their issues are manageable
