Therapy that meets your child where they are

Child & adolescent therapy with Dr. Piker

Brooklyn, NY

Virtual therapy throughout New York State

Every child is different. I provide a warm, supportive space where children and adolescents can feel comfortable being themselves, understand what they’re experiencing, and build the confidence to navigate life’s challenges.

I’m a licensed psychologist whose work focuses on children, adolescents, and families. I genuinely love working with children, their creativity, energy, and unique ways of seeing the world. I find it incredibly rewarding to build a relationship with a child, help make therapy feel less intimidating, and watch them gain confidence as they work through challenges.

I work with many neurodivergent children and adolescents, including those with ADHD and autism, as well as children navigating anxiety, emotional and social challenges, and life transitions. I believe every child is different, and therapy should reflect that. I take time to understand each child’s personality, strengths, experiences, and the ways they communicate their needs. Depending on the child, I may incorporate play, art, movement, or conversation to help them feel comfortable opening up and making sense of their experiences.

Parents are an important part of my work with children. I meet regularly with parents to learn more about their child’s history and experiences, share observations and strategies, and stay connected throughout therapy. I see the child within the context of their family and work collaboratively with parents to support their child’s growth both in and outside of therapy.

I earned my Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) in School-Clinical Child Psychology from Pace University and have worked with children, adolescents, and families across a variety of clinical and school-based settings. My practice is neurodiversity-affirming and LGBTQ+ affirming.

I often think of my role as a “feelings doctor.” My job is to create a meaningful relationship where children feel safe sharing their world and to help them understand themselves, navigate challenges, and recognize their own capacity for growth.

Family Therapy

Family therapy offers a supportive space for family members to better understand one another, strengthen communication, and navigate challenges together. We work collaboratively to explore family dynamics, build on existing strengths, and find new ways to support one another.

When helpful, I collaborate with parents, schools, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and other professionals to develop a fuller understanding of a child's needs and support their growth across settings. These conversations help create a more connected approach to care, with appropriate consent and attention to confidentiality.
