Child Therapists in Upper West Side, New York, NY

PAC Psych is a small group private practice conveniently located on the upper west side of Manhattan run by Dr. Hayley Cooper. The mission of Parent and Child Psychological Services is to bring well researched and empirically supported therapies to children, adolescents and their families with a particular focus on anxiety, attachment and young children experiencing behavior difficulties both at home and in school. We believe that a collaborative relationship with parents and sometimes schools is often the best way to achieve successful results.

In my current virtual practice I am working with many age groups dealing with the anxiety of trying to cope: with getting ready for college; with city life and roommates; with relationship partners; with making decisions to move ahead with relationship commitment, or not and if so, how; all ages attempting to cope with remote work and cramped living arrangements; and the pain and changed nature of our current city life. I help patients seeking relationships, fixing them and leaving them.

Life is learning. We all have obstacles to smoothly incorporating information into the way we live our lives. Behaving reasonably is easier said than done. The process of learning to live our lives well requires commitment, humility and openness. These qualities are cultivated within a trusted relationship. There are no shortcuts to an open mind. having worked extensively with children and adults, in school, clinic, day treatment and hospital settings, I'm best suited to treating children, parents, relationship issues, addiction issues and issues of narcissistic personalities. I have experience with EMDR, an excellent tool.

Psychoanalytic therapy provides you with unique experience that focuses on uncovering your unconscious thoughts and lets you articulate them in a protected space. It gives you an opportunity to improve the quality of your life through better understanding of yourself and your relationships. I am dedicated to providing therapeutic and analytic help to individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, and problems with finding their path in life. I am also working with artists and other creative individuals who are having trouble starting and finishing their projects and with people who are going through major life changes.

As a creative arts therapist and EMDR practitioner, I work with people who struggle with depression, PTSD, work issues, and substance abuse. My practice includes children, adolescents and adults struggling with a wide range of issues. My style is warm, interactive, supportive, and practical. I meet people where they are to best help them feel safe as we work together. I have been in private practice for 20 years.

I believe children and parents can have a happy time together. All children as they grow and all parents as they go through parenting encounter kinks in their development. I like to help children and adolescents learn to listen to and express their feelings directly and to help parents learn how to listen and communicate better with their children. With over 25 years of experience working individually with children and parents, in play group therapy and in parenting groups, I know how to use the strengths of each, child and parent, to promote better understanding of themselves and each other.

My treatment of children, adolescents and family members reflects over twenty years of experience serving in residential treatment centers, an expertise in the area of Forensic Social Work, working in congregate community programs, and effective management of Preventive Programs. I am licensed to practice as a Clinical Social Worker in New York State and possess a Post Graduate Certificate in Child and Adolescent Psychotherapy. My professional service also reflect an eclectic mix of my West Indian heritage, US education and training, and strong family ties.

I have practiced art therapy and verbal psychotherapy in NYC for 25 years. In private practice for the past 20 years, I have designed an original line of Creative Tools that fall within the disciplines of both Art Therapy and Creative Writing/Poetry therapy. I specialize in working with trauma-affected children, adolescents, families, and adults. My extensive clinical experience includes Directorships at inner-city agencies and hospitals. I have been invited to design and staff Art Therapy programs in some of these facilities. Trained at NYU, I work there as a Clinical Supervisor and Guest Lecturer.

If you are worried about your child, I may be able to help. I work with children who are struggling with emotional and social difficulties that make every day challenges harder and interfere with feeling confident and secure. Separation issues, fears, relatedness issues, and parent-child issues are frequent motivations for parents to seek my services. I offer ongoing parent guidance and 3 session consults on children who I are presenting with symptoms that are difficult for parents and teachers to sort out. I also offer clinical supervision for child focused clinicians or therapeutic teachers.

I am an actively engaged therapist with more than thirty five years experience with young adults, adults, older adults (Medicare accepted), children, adolescents and their parents. I do short term as well as long term intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy(relational/interpersonal). I assist people with Interpersonal concerns, internal conflicts, phase of life issues, resolution of trauma and loss, anxiety and depression, and parenting concerns.

I am a bilingual clinician, with training both in France and the US. I first practiced in Paris as a clinical psychologist, and I now work as a clinical social worker in New York. I work with children, adolescents and adults who suffer from day to day struggles or severe difficulties. I provide a safe space where patients can explore and work through their emotional and social problems, or in the case of children where they can play them out. Although therapy may be difficult at first, I know from experience that it is well worth the effort.

Looking for a therapist for you, your child, or your family can be challenging. It can be hard to find someone who is the right fit. I am a licensed clinical social worker working with children of all ages, families, and adults. I have experience working with those who have experienced traumatic events, grief and loss, anxiety, depressive symptoms separations/divorces, behavioral concerns, family conflicts and life transitions.

I believe that each person has a unique self that must respected, recognized and understood. In order to find the right therapist I feel that there has to be a sense of connection and trust that develops over time. I try to help people understand how connections to their past and their fear of the future and of change keeps them trapped in cycles of behavior amd relationships that hinder their chances for a more fulfilling life and following their goals and dreams. I can work with anyone who attempts this experience of working together and exploring their life issues.
