Parenting Therapists in Commack, NY

I will be offering periodic updates. I hope that this will be helpful to you and familiarize you with my thinking. For divorcing parents: Make sure your children know you are divorcing each other and not them. Be dependable - visit when you say you will. Keep your children out of the middle - argue in private. Take your time introducing someone new or living with someone. When possible maintain connections with extended family. Work on yourself so you are the best parent you can be. Children take time to adjust. There may be a delay before they discover feelings about the divorce.

I am a developmental psychologist and a licensed marriage and family therapist. I specialize in children, adolescents, parenting , co- parenting , and family systems. I believe that each member of a family impacts every other member, so when issues arise in one member, each member is affected. I place a high importance on communication within a family to help them to improve family dynamics. Issues in an individual or a family can arise at any time, so clients will graduate therapy with the skills they need to conquer future stressors.
