Concierge therapy for
anxious children + teens in
Monclair, NJ
You’re looking for real results—less anxiety, more confidence, and meaningful progress that doesn’t take forever.
The only problem is . . .
They’re booked solid with school, sports, and life — therapy feels like one more thing to juggle.
They’re not interested in weekly sessions — and you’re tired of the pushback.
You’re not looking for more appointments. You’re looking for a breakthrough.
What if I told you there was a quicker way to help your child break free from anxiety and finally feel like themselves again…
That’s where I come in.
I’m Kristen & I help children and teens manage anxiety, build confidence, and regulate big emotions so they can move forward with ease — quickly.
It can be overwhelming when nothing seems to be helping
→ Maybe weekly talk therapy isn’t enough
→ Maybe they need to overcome just a specific trigger
→ Maybe therapy feels impossible with their busy schedule
I can help your child make faster progress, gain confidence, and develop real coping skills—without spending months in traditional therapy.
You don’t have to squeeze another thing into an already overwhelming schedule!
Some Reasons Your Child Might Benefit From An Intensive:
→ They break down before performances, presentations, or big events—even after weeks of practice.
→ They’ve stopped doing activities they used to enjoy.
→ They constantly ask for reassurance and second-guess every decision.
So What Will We Do?
→ Pinpoint the root cause – Identify triggers leading to emotional distress, avoidance, or anxiety.
→ Create a game plan – Develop a structured plan for what happens before, during, and after the triggering situation.
→ Build a personalized toolkit – Learn and practice coping skills to handle the situation with confidence next time.
→ Reprocess with EMDR – Target and desensitize distressing memories or triggers so they no longer have control over your child’s emotions.

Therapy Intensives are more effectiveand efficient than normal 50-minute therapy sessions. Typically in a 50-minute session, there are at least 5-10 minutes of “check-in” at the start of the session and usually, 5-10 minutes spent on “closing up” or “checking out” at the end of a session - Leaving only 30-40 minutes for deep therapeutic work. Therapy Intensives are different.
A 2-hour Therapy Intensive allows for the full 2 hours of quality work. That’s the equivalent of five 50-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!
-
If your teen is struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional regulation and needs more than traditional weekly therapy, an intensive can provide focused support and faster progress. During the initial consultation, we’ll determine if this is the best fit.
-
Every teen is different. Some see significant progress in just one session, while others benefit from multiple intensives. We’ll discuss your teen’s specific needs and create a plan that works best for them.
-
Absolutely! Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your child’s current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.
What Is EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps kids and teens process overwhelming thoughts, memories, and emotions — without having to talk through every detail.
Originally developed for trauma, EMDR is now widely used to treat anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, panic, and more. It works by helping the brain “unstick” painful or stressful experiences and reprocess them in a healthier, more adaptive way.
In simple terms:
→ It helps the brain and body get on the same page.
→ It allows your child to let go of what’s holding them back — so they can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Sessions often include gentle eye movements, tapping, or other forms of bilateral stimulation, which activate both sides of the brain. This helps your child feel calmer and more in control, while reducing the intensity of anxious thoughts and big feelings.
If you're looking for EMDR therapy in Short Hills, NJ, our in-home EMDR intensives offer a powerful alternative to weekly therapy — designed for families who need deeper support and faster results.
*We also offer virtual sessions and in-office sessions at our Essex County location.
