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 Pelham means navigating high academic expectations, especially as students move through the competitive Pelham schools. Many young people here experience real pressure to excel, and that stress often shows up differently than you'd expect—through avoidance of schoolwork, trouble sleeping, sudden irritability, or withdrawing from activities they once enjoyed. These are signs your child might benefit from support.
At Feeling Good Psychotherapy, we specialize in evidence-based CBT and Integrative CBT for children and adolescents—the gold standard approaches backed by research. We deliver therapy securely via telehealth, keep parents appropriately involved, and track progress in every session so you see what's 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.
