Virtual 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. But the thought of taking them to a therapist’s office might feel daunting for both you and your child. That’s where virtual therapy and assessments come in, offering a convenient and effective solution right from the comfort of your home. Our child and adolescent psychologist, Dr. Analee Aponte works with parents, kids and teens alike with a variety of therapeutic and assessment requests.
For many kids and adolescents, the idea of sitting in a therapist’s office and sharing their feelings with a stranger isn’t appealing. 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.
