Child and adolescent therapy in Briarcliff Manor — supporting young people through anxiety, OCD, depression, and the work of growing into themselves.
Has your child been showing signs of sadness or withdrawal? Worry that gets in the way of things they used to enjoy? Has their mood or self-esteem been affecting school, friendships, or how they see themselves?
Dr. Fredericksen works with children and teens navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, low self-esteem, perfectionism, and emotional dysregulation. The work isn't about fixing — it's about helping young people meet overwhelming feelings with courage, and grow a sense of self that isn't built on comparison, but on confidence, resilience, and self-worth.
For parents, that often means a calmer house. For kids, it means feeling more like themselves again.
Every young person comes in for different reasons. These are some of the common concerns Dr. Fredericksen has spent her career supporting.
Worry, school refusal, social fears, panic — and the avoidance that builds around them.
Low mood, withdrawal, loss of interest, the weight that's hard to name.
Intrusive thoughts, compulsions, and the relief that often comes from understanding them.
Building a sense of worth that isn't borrowed from comparison or external approval.
Tools for the moments that feel too big — at home, at school, on the field, online.
New schools, new siblings, family changes, leaving home — the moments that ask kids to grow.
Friendship struggles, conflict, fitting in, and learning what healthy connection looks like.
The cost of "having to be good" — academically, socially, athletically.
Supporting focus, regulation, self-understanding, and confidence around how their mind works.
