Children & Adolescents

A gentle, evidence-based approach for young minds.

"To be in a child's memories tomorrow, you have to be in their life today."

Children and teenagers deserve a therapist who truly gets them. Dr. Zuckerman has dedicated a significant part of her practice to working with young people — from early childhood through the teen years — with an approach that is developmentally informed, warm, and effective.

Working With Children (Ages 5–12)

For younger children, therapy often incorporates play, art, and storytelling as vehicles for expression. Dr. Zuckerman creates a safe, comfortable environment where children feel seen and understood, while working closely with parents throughout the process.

Working With Teenagers (Ages 13–17)

Adolescents need a therapist they can trust. Dr. Zuckerman navigates this balance carefully, building a genuine relationship with teens while keeping parents appropriately informed and involved.

Areas of Focus

Anxiety, school-related stress, social difficulties, ADHD, depression, family conflict, identity development, grief, and navigating the very real pressures of adolescent life — including social media and peer relationships.
