Can You Afford Family Therapy?

The real question here is…can you let a situation that involves your children NOT be addressed?  This is why we buy insurance in the first place…to protect our families!  Children’s therapy is as important as anything on which you will ever use insurance.  Many parents are already strapped trying to help their kids through adolescence.

Your duty as a parent is to find a doctor who is a participating provider in the vast majority of union and insurance plans.  A qualified individual with decades of experience in helping kids who also works with you to get the bill paid is a true gold mine!  Let us help you narrow down the choice with some background information.

On Staten Island and in Mountainside NJ noted child psychologist Dr. Steven Sussman may be the answer to a brighter future for your family.  Getting the help is tantamount…paying the bill for the best possible children’s therapy is just as important.  Please visit the website www.sussmankids.com.  Read the insurance page and then call Dr. Sussman at (908) 217-8106.

The Effect of Social Media on Your Daughter.

If you have a child who is anxious, depressed, or frequently exhausted it may be time to take a hard look at how much time they are spending on their phones.  There is a whole world out there that can be very dangerous to an impressionable “tween”.  Unmonitored social media usage is a bit like giving your child the keys to the car.

More than a quarter of U.S. teens have an anxiety disorder according to the National Institute of Mental Health.  Time spent on social media is considered a real risk factor.  Unfortunately, all of the data is not in because the medium is so new.  There have been enough studies thus far to tie in self-image and eating disorders to even “perceived” cyber bullying.

Many now theorize that social media will surpass alcohol and drugs in terms of addiction.  Being a responsible parent is recognizing the potential problem and seeking the right counsel.  In New York and New Jersey your answer may well be Dr. Steven Sussman.  The technology may be new, but Dr. Sussman’s methods are tried and true.  Please call for an appointment at his Staten Island or Mountainside N.J. office at (908) 217-8106.

Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs, and Thomas Edison.

What do these three human “superstars” have in common?  Obviously, they were all enormously influential and successful in their lifetimes and well beyond.  Here is another tidbit that you may not know…they all may have suffered from AD/HD.  We have become more familiar with this malady in recent decades as something that affects our kids in various adverse ways.

Now that back-to-school time is upon us you want to take particular note if your child might be suffering from AD/HD.  When a young person blossoms in spite of this disorder it is indeed a triumph and it is not impossible to integrate and even excel with this condition.  Just ask the historians who know the careers of mister’s Einstein, Jobs, and Edison!

To explore and treat this particular personality trait you should seek the help of a licensed child therapist.  In the metropolitan area that man is Dr. Steven Sussman.  He is someone who has treated many children in New York and New Jersey for AD/HD and helped them to achieve.  Arrange a visit at his Staten Island or Mountainside, NJ office by calling (908) 217-8106.

Mood Disorders in Children.

This is a broad topic with so many aspects that we cannot touch on it during this short missive.  You may be noticing radical mood swings in your kids because you are seeing more of them this summer.  This category includes all types of depression and even bipolar disorder.  It is sometimes called an “affective disorder”.

It must not be ignored as just a part of growing up!  First of all, there are chemicals in the brain that are responsible for positive moods.  Other chemicals in the brain, known as neurotransmitters, regulate the brain chemicals that affect mood.  The cause may be a chemical imbalance in your child’s brain.

Please seek help for the ones that you love.  Visit the website of Dr. Steven Sussman.  He is a New York and New Jersey children’s mood disorder professional.  His website is www.sussmankids.com.  It should not take very long to realize that Dr. Sussman could have the answers that you seek.  Arrange a visit at one of his offices by calling (908) 217-8106.
