Caitlin McNally, LCSW provides therapy for children and teens ages 8+ in Mount Kisco, NY. She works with kids and teens who may be struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, school stress, perfectionism, low mood, big emotions, or ADHD and executive functioning challenges. Some of the young people Caitlin works with seem capable on the outside but are having a much harder time than others realize. They may worry constantly, put intense pressure on themselves, shut down when overwhelmed, struggle to get started or stay organized, avoid school or other difficult situations, or have emotional reactions that leave both kids and parents feeling stuck. Therapy is tailored to the individual child or teen rather than following one set formula. Depending on what they need, sessions may focus on building practical skills, understanding patterns that are keeping them stuck, exploring what is underneath the struggle, or helping them put difficult experiences into words. Caitlin uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and draws on specialized training in childhood anxiety and executive functioning. Caitlin also works with parents when parent involvement can support progress. Parent-only support is available, including SPACE, an evidence-based treatment that helps parents change how they respond to childhood and teen anxiety and avoidance. Caitlin’s office is located in Mount Kisco and serves families throughout Northern Westchester, including Chappaqua, Bedford, Katonah, Pound Ridge, Armonk and surrounding communities. Virtual therapy is also available throughout New York and Connecticut. Caitlin offers a free consultation for parents who are wondering whether therapy may be a good fit for their child or teen.
