Parenting a child or teen who struggles with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or behavioral challenges can be overwhelming. At Tikvah Family Services, we understand how hard it is to watch your child experience emotions they don’t fully understand — and sometimes, can’t express. That’s where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) comes in.

CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that empowers children and teens to better manage their emotions, build resilience, and develop lifelong coping strategies. And when delivered by a skilled expert like Amir Haimove, CBT becomes more than therapy — it becomes a life-changing experience.

👨‍⚕️ Meet Amir Haimove: International Expertise You Can Trust

The heart of Tikvah Family Services is Amir Haimove, an internationally respected expert with over 20 years of experience in special education and mental health.

Amir’s work spans continents and cultures, allowing him to bring global insight to his therapeutic practice. His approach to CBT is deeply personalized — informed by a wide range of methodologies and tailored to each child’s unique challenges.

🔎 What Is CBT and How Can It Help Your Child?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

It’s especially beneficial for kids and teens facing:

  • Generalized anxiety or excessive worry
  • Depression and low mood
  • ADHD and focus difficulties
  • Social challenges and peer conflict
  • Low self-esteem or self-doubt
  • Emotional dysregulation and anger issues

How CBT Works for Children and Teens

CBT teaches kids to:

✅ Identify negative thought patterns
✅ Reframe those thoughts with healthier perspectives
✅ Build emotional awareness
✅ Practice real-life coping skills
✅ Strengthen problem-solving and self-regulation

The result? A more confident, emotionally capable child who is better equipped to navigate school, relationships, and life’s everyday challenges.

👩‍👧 Signs Your Child May Benefit from CBT

Consider CBT if your child or teen:

  • Worries excessively or avoids new situations
  • Frequently has meltdowns or mood swings
  • Struggles with friends or social interaction
  • Has low self-confidence
