Virtual therapy services for kids, preteens, and teens in New York City, Long Island + the greater NY area

Children deserve a safe place to conquer their fears, grow their confidence, and discover more about who they are (because I’m sure they’re awesome).

You get to have a calm, helpful, and fun relationship with your child, where anxiety does not get in the way.

Let’s be real...

Raising a human is hard! There truly isn’t a blueprint for how to best support your child or your teen. I’m sure you are doing a great job AND I bet your child would still benefit from support. Who wouldn’t?!

I imagine you found me because you were seeking an anxiety expert that knows how to help your child feel more confident. With countless therapists to choose from, I’m so glad you found your way here!

Here’s how we can work together:

Ready for support?

Virtual therapy sessions are usually arranged weekly to maintain consistency and establish dependable, steady help that you can count on.

Children

(Age 5+)

Navigating childhood can be both joyous and challenging. In my child-friendly environment, I utilize a variety of play techniques, games, and conversational approaches to help children express themselves, tackle problems, and develop effective coping methods.

Therapy can support:

  • Building self-efficacy and self-esteem

  • Nurturing peer relationships

  • Overcoming behavioral challenges

  • Preparing for academic success

Adolescence brings unique challenges, from social pressures to evolving relationships. I'm here to provide support as your teenager or preteen navigates this transformative period.

Therapy can support:

  • Managing anxiety and/or depression

  • Cultivating strong peer relationships

  • Developing self-esteem and confidence

  • Transitioning into middle school, high school, or college

Commonly Asked Questions

  • Children’s therapy and teen therapy helps your child to garner a better understanding of their experience in the world, their role in the family, how to understand feelings, and how to foster coping skills and growth. Your child does not need a diagnosis to benefit from therapy; however, children with ADHD, Autism, depression or anxiety often do benefit from extra support.

  • Depending on your child’s age, I always recommend that you explain therapy as a safe place to go to play, to talk, and to sort out all sorts of feelings. I always encourage a parent to sit in for at least the first 5-10 minutes of the first therapy session, so your child can feel comfortable. In my experience, most children and teens are okay sitting with me alone after that, but it is a case by case decision.

    If you have any more questions about this, feel free to contact me!

  • Maybe! However, part of my role as a therapist is making sure your child gets the best care for them. After an initial session (or at any point), if I think your child would work better with an in-person therapist, I am happy to provide referrals; however, as a therapist who has worked in both roles, I can honestly say that virtual therapy can be just as impactful depending on the child.

    I work with as young as 5 years old through young adulthood.

    Many of my teenage and young adult clients come to me during a transitional time in their lives, such as moving up to middle school, going to college or graduating college.

  • I am an out-of-network provider, so I do not directly take insurance for therapy services. I am happy to provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance provider if you have out-of-network coverage for outpatient mental health. I have chosen not to panel with any insurances to provide you with full control over your therapy and therapy model.

    For therapy clients out-of-network, please make Note of the No Surprises Act. Should we begin working together, I will provide you with detailed information, as well as, a Good Faith Estimate prior to intake.

  • Individual therapy sessions are for 45 minutes and cost $185.

    Payment is due at the time of service. I accept payment by credit card and debit card.
