Nothing is more heart wrenching than a sad and self-critical child. Children diagnosed with mood disorders often have undiagnosed underlying skill deficits that make them feel helpless and hopeless. Empowering them with skills and optimism is one of the most gratifying aspects of my work.
We now offer child counseling online in New Jersey and New York. During this unprecedented health crisis and period of uncertainty, I am fully available for online video conferencing. Studies are already showing that our youth are responding with fear and anxiety as well as feelings of depression and / or social isolation. In many children and teens their behavioral and academic issues are being exacerbated.
Children need, depend and thrive on structure. Our therapy sessions provide a structured framework for children and their families. Weekly sessions focus on improving behavior at home, school performance, and age appropriate social responsibilities such as sibling relationships and chores.
Many families are facing financial hardship. I will do my best to work with you to find a fee you can manage. We submit all sessions on your behalf to your health insurance plans.
Once you've been invited to our video conference sessions - the link is always - https://doxy.me/drstevensussman. I am told it is best to use the CHROME browser. Please keep on mute if you are not speaking so we do not get any background noise from your home (kids, animals, televisions, etc.).
If you have trouble getting into the meeting call my cell - (908) 217 - 8106 and you can participate by cell. Then before the next session we can do a practice meeting with just you and me to troubleshoot the issue. |
