What concerns do you treat?

Our clinicians have a wide range of experience; some of the concerns we treat include anxiety, ADHD, OCD, disruptive behaviors, depression, trauma, grief, and symptoms of autism.

How do I know if my child actually needs therapy?

Ask us! We will have a structured, in-depth conversation with you and your child to gather details about your child’s developmental history, patterns or changes you’ve noticed, and any concerns you have. Together, we will decide whether your child could benefit from therapy or another type of support.

Yes! Families in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut have access to both in-person and online appointments. Our New York clinics are in Brooklyn Heights, Lake Success, and Columbus Circle — with more to come. Families in Massachusetts and Washington have access to online-only therapy and psychiatry services (including medication management). Families in California with kids up to age 12 have access to free coaching and resources through Brightline’s BrightLife Kids program — an online-only behavioral health resource paid for entirely by the state of California.
