Courageous Kids Counseling helps children and teens navigate anxiety, behavioral challenges, and big emotions — with compassion, evidence-based methods, and a little bit of fun.
Every child is different. Our services are tailored to meet each child where they are — with approaches that are both clinically effective and genuinely engaging.
From separation anxiety to generalized worry, we help kids develop practical tools to manage fear and build confidence in everyday situations.
Helping kids with focus, impulse control, and organization — through strategies that work both at home and at school.
Tantrums, defiance, aggression — we help families understand the root causes and build positive, sustainable behavior change.
When sadness, withdrawal, or hopelessness take over, we provide a safe space for kids to process and heal — at their own pace.
Academic struggles, test anxiety, and learning differences can weigh heavily on kids. We help build the emotional and cognitive skills they need to thrive.
Every journey begins with a conversation. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation — no pressure, no judgment.
Courageous Kids Counseling was founded with a simple belief: every child deserves a therapist who truly understands them. Located in the heart of Nyack, we provide a warm, safe space where kids can be themselves — without judgment.
Our team specializes in child and adolescent mental health, drawing from evidence-based approaches like CBT, play therapy, and parent-child interaction therapy. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment — every plan is as unique as the child receiving it.
Getting started is straightforward. Here's what to expect from your first steps with us.
Call us or fill out the contact form below. We'll schedule a brief, no-cost phone call to learn about your child and answer any questions you have.
We conduct a thorough intake with you and your child to understand their strengths, challenges, and goals — and to find the right fit for therapy.
Together, we build a personalized treatment plan. Regular check-ins keep you in the loop as your child builds skills and confidence.
