DR. ALLYSON CARLSON, CHILD & ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGIST
BACKGROUND
For over twenty years, I have worked with children, adolescents, and their families in psychotherapy, public and private schools, hospitals, research settings, and residential facilities. I utilize methods that identify and build upon an individual's strengths. I am a graduate of Colgate University and received my doctorate from New York University. I am also a certified school psychologist. I address learning needs and behaviors that interfere with academic and social development.
SERVICES
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)
I guide my patients every step of the way and implement various methods to help them develop new attitudes towards all of life’s most complex matters. CBT is a form of therapy that gets kids to look at their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It shows them how to replace negative thoughts with more realistic, positive ones.
