Child Therapy on Long Island, NY
overview of child treatment
Most of the time, parents play a central role in the treatment of their children. That means that you will learn specific tools for handling the most difficult and frustrating child behaviors.
We also offer individual therapy for children and adolescents that focuses on teaching them how to handle frustration and big emotions. If your child has a rigid way of handling things, we have science-backed methods to teach your child how to flexibly deal with life’s frustrations.
