child, adolescent, & young adult therapy FAQs

How do you tailor your approach for different age groups?
Each age group has its unique challenges. At Positive Development Psychology in Westchester, we are trained to recognize and address these differences, ensuring that every child, teen, and family receives care tailored to their specific needs.
Do parents participate in child and adolescent therapy sessions?
Child therapy is usually most successful when parents are involved. Keep in mind that therapy is individualized for each child and a number of variables, such as the child’s age and specific needs, may influence the level of parental involvement. Your child’s therapist will utilize the information you provide regarding your child’s background, strengths and challenges to help guide initial therapy goals. Throughout the course of therapy, it is common to attend parent sessions to discuss progress and ongoing goals and to learn how to best support your child’s treatment. While parent involvement is key for younger children, for teens, it is important to strike the right balance between supporting their therapy and understanding their desires for increased privacy and independence.
How do I get started in therapy?
Getting started is easy! We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation with a licensed clinician. Contact us at info@positivedevelopmentpsychology.com or 914-432-4000, or by filling out the form on our Contact page. If it seems like we are a good fit to meet your needs, an intake session will be scheduled to discuss detailed background information, current areas of strength and concern, and preliminary therapy goals. Session times are reserved on a first come, first served basis. Reach out today to learn how we can best support you.
