Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn, NY

As a parent of a struggling child or teen, do you often find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better? Do they wrestle with daily stressors (school and homework pressure, family/peer issues, self-image, COVID-19 fears) and emotional issues ? Parents often feel that they have run out of ideas of how to help. They just want their child to thrive. I have helped children and teens that were struggling with anxiety disorders, self-regulation, low self-esteem, body image concerns, and anger issues. I work with parents to help them develop strategies to help their children as their needs change over the years.
