Child Therapy
In Wyckoff, NJ
Does this sound like your child? They:
-
have physical symptoms (my stomach hurts!) but the doctor says it is just stress
-
get so worked up they go into panic mode and feel as though they can’t breathe
-
overthink about all the “what ifs” and what is going to happen next
-
are distracted and lost in thought, saying they can’t turn their brain off
-
obsess about if they made a mistake, or if something bad or embarrassing will happen
-
can’t stop feeling the need for things to be “perfect” or just the “right way”
You don't want them to miss out any more because of their anxiety!
You've tried
-
telling them "there is nothing to worry about"
-
offering to help them with their anxiety
-
ignoring the fears, in hopes that it would just go away
Nothing seems to be working and you're feeling helpless!
I’m a therapist (and mom) who is passionate about helping children who hate feeling anxious all the time and who are ready to squash their worries to live happier lives.
You need someone who you can trust and who has years of training and experience supporting anxious children, teens, and their parents.
I provide a safe space for children to talk about their thoughts and feelings and teach them skills to handle their anxiety when it arises.
Next steps...

Even if you’re wondering “are they too young for therapy?” or thinking “should I have gotten them help sooner?”
you are taking the first step in beating their anxiety.
