Seeking a Good Child Therapist for 6Yr Old with Extreme Anxiety

hi P., my son is 11 and has adhd, bi-polar, odd severe anxiety and the list goes on and on. he sees advocates. i love the dr he sees there but i do not like the therapist for a personal reason, but i would def recomend advocates to anyone for children and adults! good luck
ps i just wanted you to know that we were very nervous and some what against medicating him at first, but when we finally put the trust in his dr and just did, it was the beat thing for my whole family that we ever made. :)

I am not sure where you live; you can call NASW and ask about their therapist finder - they will help you find someone in your area who accepts your insurance. You may be able to get a few names; you should have a good feeling about where you will be taking your son.

good luck! And - congrats on getting your son the help he needs!
Warmly,
E.

Hi P.,

The person I was going to recommend is the first person who responded to you...Caren Lee. I know her personally and professionally, and she is one of the best at what she does. She is also one of the few therpists in the area that works with children. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at ____@____.com this is helpful.

Hi P.,
I highly recommend Dr. Mort Birnbaum in Sudbury. He is very competent, kind and perceptive. Whomever you go to, it's often a good idea to have both parents and child see the therapist at first (together or separate), since it's the tips the therapist give to the parents that often make all the difference.

I am a Licensed Mental health counselor in Shrewsbury, MA. I specialize in anxiety disorders for adults and children.

I can be reached at ____@____.com if you want more information.

Thank you,

I checked in with Bill Fisher (Fischer?) in Framingham (sorry, I don't have the number right now) about my daughter who had some serious social anxiety. A couple of pointers really helped us out, and I think he would be good with the kids directly. He's right on Edgel Road in Framingham, so not too far from you. Good luck. I know that this can be really hard on everyone.
