Teen Therapist in Westchester, NY

Adolescence is undeniably one of the most challenging periods in life. Even more so for teens now-a-days.  With stressors such as social media, bullying, and unending social pressures, anyone might have difficulty.  Some teens can navigate this time effectively, while others may need some help.

​

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, nearly one out of five teenagers has a diagnosable mental health disorder.

This period of life can have a significant impact on your child’s future. The sooner mental health issues are addressed, the greater are chances that your teen will grow into a healthy and happy adult.
