CHILDREN & FAMILY THERAPY IN NEW YORK

- New parents
- Parents of infants
- Parents of toddlers
- Parents of preschool children-tweens
- Children in early development
Raising a family in NYC is full of excitement as well as unique challenges. Parents and children face the stressors of city life, smaller spaces, and heightened sensory input. Providing a healthy, safe and joy filled environment for a family can be fulfilling and yet also cause stress and anxiety. Therapy can provide invaluable support for both parents and children navigating life in New York City. We provide a place for children to explore their individuality, emotions, and strengths as they develop and grow. We collaborate with parents to assist them with releasing some steam, developing self-compassion and understanding, and fostering stronger parent-child bonds.
Additionally, much of parenting during the early years demands a deep, non-verbal awareness as well as a spirit of playfulness. With embodiment practices and a relational, empathetic lens, we help you bring your fullest self to your family. We recognize and celebrate that families come in various shapes and sizes, each with their unique needs. We welcome ALL families of all configurations.
