Evidence-based therapy for children, teens, and young adults — using CBT and Integrative CBT for anxiety, depression, and school stress. Sessions from anywhere in NY via secure telehealth.
Free 15-minute phone consultation. No commitment required.
Growing up in Chelsea means navigating intense academic competition and the pressures of New York City's demanding culture. Many young people here experience anxiety, perfectionism, and social stress—but they don't always talk about it. Instead, distress often shows up as avoidance of school, changes in sleep, irritability, or withdrawal from friends and activities. These signals matter, and addressing them early makes a real difference.
At Feeling Good Psychotherapy, we specialize in child and adolescent therapy using evidence-based CBT and Integrative CBT—the gold standard for young people. We offer secure telehealth sessions, keep parents appropriately involved, and measure progress each week so you know therapy is working.
Children, teens, and young adults across NY.
CBT is the gold-standard, evidence-based approach for young people. It teaches children and teens to catch distorted thoughts and replace them with realistic thinking — concrete skills, not open-ended talk. Most teens build proficiency within about fifteen sessions.
We measure your child's anxiety and mood with validated tools before and after sessions, so progress is objective and treatment adjusts quickly when needed.

Many clients notice meaningful improvement within the first 4 to 8 sessions. Most reach substantial progress toward their goals within 8 to 12 sessions. Full recovery typically occurs between 12 and 20 sessions, though this varies based on the complexity and duration of the issues being addressed.
Because we measure your mood and symptoms before and after every session, you will always have a clear and objective picture of how you are progressing. Your therapist uses that data to adjust the approach in real time if results are not moving fast enough.
We start with a structured assessment so everyone is aligned before treatment. It typically runs across four sessions: your child alone, then both parents together, your child alone again, and a wrap-up with parents and child to share the plan. After the assessment we offer a clear diagnostic picture and a treatment plan built around your child's goals. For independent young adults the assessment is shorter — one or two sessions to confirm fit.
The result is a structured but deeply personal approach that research shows produces faster and more complete recovery than traditional therapy. You leave with practical psychological skills you can use for life, long after your sessions end.
