In-Person & Online Therapy & Assessments for Children & Adolescents
Effective Therapy & Assessments For Kids and Teens
As a parent, you want the best for your child, especially when it comes to their mental health. That’s where either in-person or online therapy and assessments come in, offering a convenient and effective solution. Our child and adolescent psychologist, Dr. Analee Aponte works with parents, kids and teens alike with a variety of therapeutic and assessment requests.
For those who are interested in our online option, many kids and adolescents find the idea of sitting in a therapist’s office and sharing their feelings with a stranger unappealing. However, online therapy and assessment sessions provide a more comfortable and familiar setting, making it easier for your child to open up. With advancements in telehealth, virtual therapy and assessments have proven to be just as effective as in-person sessions.
Benefits of Virtual Therapy & Assessments
Comfort and Convenience: Your child can receive therapy and assessments in a space where they feel safe and comfortable, reducing anxiety and increasing engagement.
Flexible Scheduling: No need to worry about commuting or fitting appointments into a busy schedule. Our online psychologists offer evening and weekend sessions.
Reduced Stigma: Online therapy and assessments eliminates the fear of being seen at a psychologist’s office, allowing kids and teens to seek help discreetly.
Cost-Effective: Virtual therapy and assessments can often be more affordable than traditional in-person sessions, with most of our services covered by commercial health insurance plans.
When to Consider Therapy for Kids and Teens
Every mental health condition is unique, but common signs that your child might benefit from therapy include:
Inconsistent School Performance: A sudden drop in grades or academic struggles.
Excessive Anxiety: Persistent worry, panic attacks, or intrusive thoughts.
Depression: Ongoing low mood, low energy, or suicidal thoughts.
