Strength in Numbers.

When people gather together great things may come of it.  Many people make the mistaken assumption that individual child therapy is the right choice because it focuses on one child at a time rather than diverting any of the attention to the group.  That type of thinking may be convoluted for your particular situation!

So, why is group therapy preferable for many children?  When do kids seem to be most at ease? Perhaps in the classroom, on the athletic field, in a band or chorus, maybe scouting?  By using group therapy, your child will learn and grow from hearing the experiences of others.  That is what AA Meetings do for adults.

Dr. Steven Sussman believes in children’s group therapy for many of his patients.  If you reside in New York City or New Jersey you and your kid have a friend and compassionate listener in Dr. Sussman.  You won’t know until you call for an appointment at his Staten Island or Mountainside office.  That number is (908) 217-8106.

Humor and Song Work!

We have all heard that the more we laugh and sing, the better we feel.  How does that apply to therapy for kids?  Did you know that the trend these days used by learned professionals is that Hip Hop has become a promising new trend in the treatment of troubled youths?  I know, we Gen X’rs and Baby Boomers gasp at the very thought!

A growing body of research suggests that those who live in violence-stricken communities are subject to post-traumatic stress at much higher rates.  New York/New Jersey is certainly no exception.  The inclusion of hip hop music could help start a dialogue between client and therapist through a vocabulary and framework comfortable for both.

The key to successful child therapy is staying not only “on the curve”, but seeing what is on the other side of it as well.  That is why Dr. Steven Sussman has been a noted child therapist in Staten Island and Mountainside NJ for decades.  He may have the answers you seek for your kid.  Give him a call to arrange a consultation at either office (908) 217-8106.
