Child Anxiety Therapy
Many children experience anxiety at different stages of development, but when worries begin to interfere with sleep, school, friendships, or daily routines, professional support can help. Dr. Kelly provides therapy for children struggling with generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety, school refusal, and specific fears.
Treatment is tailored to each child’s developmental level and personality. Using evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and skills-based strategies, Dr. Kelly helps children learn to identify worries, build coping skills, and develop confidence in managing difficult emotions.
Parents are included as an important part of the process. Sessions often include guidance on how to respond to anxiety at home, support exposure to challenging situations, and reinforce new skills in everyday life.
Therapy for School and Behavior Concerns
Children may struggle with attention, behavior, emotional regulation, or motivation in ways that affect their success at school and at home. These challenges can show up as difficulty following directions, frustration tolerance problems, conflicts with peers, or resistance around schoolwork.
Dr. Kelly works with children experiencing ADHD-related concerns, behavioral challenges, school avoidance, and emotional outbursts. Therapy focuses on building practical skills such as organization, problem-solving, frustration tolerance, and flexible thinking.
When helpful, Dr. Kelly collaborates with parents and schools to better understand the child’s needs and create consistent strategies across settings. The goal is to help children feel more capable, regulated, and successful in their daily environments.
Adolescent Therapy
Adolescence is a time of significant emotional, social, and academic pressure. Teens may struggle with anxiety, mood changes, identity concerns, peer relationships, or increasing expectations at school.
Dr. Kelly provides a supportive, non-judgmental space where adolescents can talk openly and develop skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and navigate challenges more effectively. Therapy may focus on anxiety, depression, social difficulties, academic stress, or family conflict.
Using evidence-based approaches, Dr. Kelly helps teens build resilience, improve communication, and develop practical tools they can use in everyday situations. Parents are included as appropriate to support progress while still respecting the adolescent’s need for privacy and independence.
Parent Consultation
Parent consultation can be helpful when caregivers are seeking guidance around a child’s behavior, emotional struggles, or developmental concerns. These meetings focus on understanding the child’s needs and identifying practical strategies that can be used at home.
Dr. Kelly works collaboratively with parents to address issues such as anxiety, emotional regulation, behavior challenges, school difficulties, and family transitions. Consultations may include education about child development, coaching on specific parenting techniques, and problem-solving around difficult situations.
The goal of parent consultation is to help caregivers feel more confident and effective in supporting their child’s emotional and behavioral growth.
Payment
Dr. Kelly is considered an "out-of-network" provider by insurance companies. This means that Dr. Kelly does not accept insurance as payment for services. Your insurance plan will reimburse you for services if your plan allows for "out-of-network" providers and you have met any necessary "deductible." A deductible is an amount set by the insurance company that the patient is responsible for before the insurance covers costs.
Payment is made at the time of service by credit card or check.
Patients are provided with monthly statements, which contain all the information needed to submit claims for reimbursement of out-of-network benefits.
Rates of reimbursement vary depending on your plan.
It is advised that you determine with your insurance provider whether you have a deductible to meet, and what percentage or rate of reimbursement you will receive for individual or group therapy sessions with a clinical psychologist (PsyD) who is out of your network.
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, which are how medical professionals document and report medical intervention and evaluations, made be helpful to provide to the insurance company for specifics on reimbursement (CPT codes are 90834 for individual sessions, and 90853 for group therapy).
Psychotherapy is an allowable expense for your Health Spending or Flexible Spending Account.
