Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Garden City, NY.

We all encounter problems and issues while growing up. Being a child or adolescent is not easy at times and maybe it can be harder for some kids and adolescents depending on several factors or experiences. Adjusting at any age can be difficult, however, with the transitions required growing up, the increased pace of life today, and potential challenges sometimes of technology and social media, the demands of life for a young person can understandably seem overwhelming. We specialize in treating children and adolescents and utilize various treatment techniques including CBT, Play Therapy, DBT, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Gestalt, and Eclectic Therapy in individual and/or family sessions.

I offer counseling typically to children 12+ If the child is younger than 12, and needs support for entering middle school, or peer/ social skills with my experience K-12, and graduate school age, please inquire re: need! As a family or with a sibling I would treat younger as well. As always just inquire with more information on how I can assist !

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn’t be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.

The most malleable of us all. Therefore, that segment of our society that can be most easily molded, sculpted. Since the sculptist is almost always the parents their cooperation in the therapy process cannot be emphasized enough. They are makers or breakers of it. That is why the creation of a trusting alliance with them is critical. However, respecting the boundaries and confidentiality too of the child's work (therapy) with myself. The child is allowed to express, within reason, their individuality. Encouragement is given for adaptive risk-taking and self-soothing mechanisms. I create, a safe, predictable, environment.
