As a clinician in the Division of Child and
Adolescent
Psychiatry at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and as a private practitioner, I provide individual, parent management, and family psychotherapy using a relational, and strengths-based approach.
If you are struggling during this global crisis, you are not alone. Maybe the pandemic has triggered feelings of vulnerability and anxiety you’ve never experienced, or maybe it has amplified feelings of loneliness and sadness you’ve been living with for some time. Social distancing, isolation, role transitions, and loss have disrupted our sense of control and stability. Whatever you are going through right now is understandable and valid. I want to help you reclaim balance and order in your life. I want to help you tap into your inner strength to function and feel better.

Teen Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
