Children, Adolescents, and Families

We have experience with and expertise in treating a wide range of disorders of childhood and adolescence, including depression, anxiety, anger problems, behavior disorders, neuro-cognitive disorders and relationship problems.  These include:
  • Sadness or withdrawal  
  • Excessive worrying or fears
  • School phobia or avoidance
  • Separation anxiety
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder
  • Panic disorder
  • Low self-esteem
  • Noncompliance, lying, oppositionality
  • Temper problems or outbursts
  • Learning problems, academic underachievement
  • Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
  • Adjustment to life changes or traumas, including parental divorce, losses, moves, etc.
  • Parent-child or sibling conflict
  • Social difficulties

When treating children and teens we generally do a combination of individual work with the child or teen, parent consultation with the child’s parent or parents, and joint sessions with parents and child, depending on the particular needs and preferences of everyone involved.  When appropriate, we consult with teachers, physicians or other professionals as needed to optimally coordinate the child's care.
