With younger children, I work closely with parents, offering guidance and practical strategies that build resilience, connection, and emotional growth.

Child or Adolescent Issues
Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
Psychotherapy helps children and adolescents in a variety of ways. They receive emotional support, resolve conflicts with people, understand feelings and problems, and try out new solutions to old problems. Goals for therapy may be specific (change in behavior, improved relations with friends or family), or more general (less anxiety, better self-esteem). The length of psychotherapy depends on the complexity and severity of problems.

15 Years Experience
Online in Boston, MA Massachusetts (Online Only)
Boston's extraordinary concentration of universities — including Harvard, MIT, Boston University, and Northeastern — generates strong demand for therapists specializing in academic pressure, young adult transitions, and anxiety. The city is home to world-class mental health institutions including McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, and many private therapists work in close collaboration with these systems. Boston's large student and young professional population drives high demand for therapists focusing on identity, relationships, and adjustment to major life changes. The city also has a significant immigrant population from Cape Verde, China, Vietnam, and Latin America, with bilingual and culturally informed therapists well represented.
