Parenting Therapists in New York, NY

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in New York and am passionate about supporting parents in their own mental health journeys, as well as through parenting challenges. I also provide individual therapy for adults with anxiety, OCD, and depression. My goal is to foster a warm and supportive therapy space while grounding our sessions in evidence-based approaches. I work with clients across the lifespan, from early childhood through adulthood, with the goal of managing emotions and behaviors more effectively. I aim to empower people to face their fears, tolerate uncertainty, and build a life that is in line with their values.

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 know that psychotherapy can help you to feel free and more open to life's opportunities. We can explore your problems and work towards helping you feel more fulfilled. My specialties are relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, parenting issues, work place gratification and addictions and I have extensive experience with couple’s therapy. My focus is on your efforts to move forward. I offer insight oriented feedback and believe in the power of therapy to help growth.

I am a New York State-licensed clinical psychologist specializing in evidence-based treatment of children, adolescents, and adults. I am the Founder and Director of Dr. Alison Bellevue Psychology PLLC, a small group private practice serving New York City and the surrounding areas. I have extensive experience providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to clients across the lifespan. My goal as a therapist is to create a trusted and collaborative relationship in which I am able to most effectively teach you skills to manage your emotional distress and reduce problematic behaviors.

As a relational therapist, I am deeply passionate to support individuals, families, and couples as they navigate life transitions and different experiences that impact connection with oneself and/or with one another. I strongly believe in the power of resilience (capacity to recover from any impact) and finding growth in the midst of challenges. I also believe, that sometimes finding the openings for growth are not so visible or accessible to our perception and therapy can support expanding that vision.

As a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist, I have expertise in both therapy and assessment, which provides me with a unique perspective on underlying reasons for behaviors and appropriate interventions. Through my assessments, I am able to pin point an individual's strengths and needs, providing diagnostic clarity, self understanding, and direction for treatment and/or educational planning. In collaboration with clients and schools, I help identify appropriate school-based supports, including standardized testing and college accommodations, and draw upon my experience in educational advocacy.

People seek my support for a variety of reasons, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship- and work conflict, parenting, life transitions, and more. I work with adults, adolescents, and children using an integrative approach, offering a unique balance in response to the needs and preferences of each client. When working with children, I collaborate closely with their parents to ensure consistency.

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.

I have a passion for working with couples at all stages of the life cycle. Premaritals, empty nesters, LGBT couples, couples with young children seeking to balance parenting with time for self and partner, couples needing support around sexuality and commitment issues, couples at a crossroads.... Much of my early therapeutic training was in Hospice bereavement counseling. Through that experience I became drawn to therapeutic encounters with the potential for spiritual renewal. In recent years I've connected with that initial sense of generativity and meaning through the practice of couples therapy, most notably in work as a premarital counselor.
