Child & Teen Therapy

Therapy for Kids and Teens in Westchester County & New York (Telehealth Available)

You might be here if

  • Your child seems more anxious, withdrawn, or overwhelmed than other kids their age

  • Your child is struggling at school — with focus, behavior, friendships, or motivation

  • Your child is struggling to do the typical "jobs" of kids- going to school, participating in the home, maintaining relationships, etc.

  • Something happened that has changed how your child feels, acts, or sees the world

  • Your child experiences physical symptoms like stomachaches or headaches that don't have a clear medical explanation

  • You've noticed big emotional reactions or behavioral challenges that are straining your family

  • You're not sure what's going on, but something feels off — and you want support figuring it out

What therapy may look like

  • Evidence-based therapies including CBT, TF-CBT, SPACE, and behavioral interventions tailored to your child's age and needs

  • Building emotional regulation, coping skills, and resilience in a safe, supportive space

  • Parent and caregiver sessions to strengthen connection, build consistency, and extend the work beyond the therapy room

  • Collaborative communication between therapist, caregivers, and (when appropriate) school or other providers

  • Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) for children experiencing chronic pain or stress-related physical symptoms

Our approach

At Sunrise Psychology NY, we understand that children aren't just small adults — they communicate, process, and heal differently. Our clinicians draw from evidence-based, child-centered approaches that meet kids where they are, combining structured therapeutic techniques with the warmth, creativity, and flexibility that children need to feel safe and engaged.


We work with children ages 4 and up across a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, ADHD, trauma, behavioral challenges, school stress, chronic pain, and the everyday difficulties that can feel enormous to a young person. Sessions are tailored to your child's developmental stage, temperament, and goals — and we move at a pace that feels manageable for both child and family.


We also believe parents and caregivers are essential partners in the process. Depending on your child's age and needs, we incorporate regular caregiver check-ins, guidance, and skills to help the work in the therapy room carry over into daily life at home. In some cases, we may recommend a period of parent-focused work before or alongside your child's individual sessions.


Across our team, we draw from approaches including CBT, TF-CBT, SPACE, behavioral intervention, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, we tailor therapy to each child's needs, goals, and pace — always keeping the therapeutic relationship at the center of the work.
