I help children and teens in Wyckoff, NJ
learn to manage Anxiety and OCD,
while teaching parents how to respond with
support and confidence
so your child can feel more in control, and your family can feel more at ease.
If your child is:
-
stuck in worry, routines, or constant "what if" questions
-
asking for reassurance over and over
-
repeating behaviors
-
or avoiding things that never used to both them
I know you are doing your best and you don't have to do this alone!​
Therapy for children, teens, and families
Anxiety Treatment
Whether your child seems anxious about everything or struggles with specific worries, fears, or phobias, therapy can help. I teach children and teens practical skills to manage anxiety, face challenges with confidence, and feel more at ease in daily life.
OCD Treatment
Whether your child has already been diagnosed with OCD or you’ve started to notice patterns of repeating, checking, or reassurance-seeking behaviors, there is help. Using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), I help kids face their fears step by step — so they can feel more in control and your family can find relief.
Parent Support
When your child is struggling, it’s easy to feel helpless or unsure how to respond — especially if they’re already in therapy, too young to participate, or resistant to getting help. Parent sessions offer guidance and practical strategies to reduce family stress, and support your child’s progress with confidence.
There’s no guidebook for parenting an anxious child — and feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.
Parenting an anxious child can feel confusing and exhausting — because no one teaches you how to handle constant worries, meltdowns, rituals, or reassurance-seeking. I’m Cheryl Habersaat, and I help children and teens overcome anxiety and OCD while guiding parents step-by-step on how to support their child without feeding into the fear. You don’t need a manual — you just need the right tools and support.
