Being concerned about your child can often be isolating and confusing. In addition to the typical difficulties that can arise during the often turbulent years of childhood and adolescence, the past few years have been especially difficult for many children to navigate. With unprecedented disruptions to their school, social and family lives, many children are experiencing higher levels of stress and difficult emotions such as sadness, anxiety, frustration and anger, and self confidence making relationships with others problematic.
If you are concerned about your child or teenager, our experienced, caring therapists can help. Treating all with trust, understanding and compassion, we use evidenced-based methods to help children with the issues that they are struggling with and support them in their development and growth towards happiness.
We are excited to announce that we now offer Psychoeducational Testing services! Our comprehensive assessments are designed to evaluate learning abilities, cognitive skills, and emotional well-being to provide tailored recommendations for academic and personal growth.
ITI-NJ provides therapy for children and adolescents experiencing emotional, behavioral, developmental, social, or family-related challenges. Treatment is tailored to the child’s age, developmental stage, individual needs, and circumstances. Services include therapy for elementary school children and counseling for adolescents.
Psychoeducational evaluations are comprehensive assessments that examine how a child or adolescent learns, thinks, feels, and behaves. They may be helpful when there are concerns about learning difficulties, attention or executive functioning, academic performance, emotional or behavioral concerns, or questions about conditions such as ADHD or autism. Evaluations can provide a clearer understanding of a child’s strengths and challenges and help guide recommendations for support at home and school.
