Dr Scott Anderson

Licensed Psychologist

Child psychologist with experience in a variety of problems and conditions, specializing in helping children and parents work together

About Me

As a child psychologist, I help families navigate various challenges by strengthening the bond between children and parents. My approach focuses on creating a shared understanding, offering practical strategies that can be used at home. I aim to empower both children and parents to work together effectively, building resilience and improving family dynamics. This collaborative focus ensures lasting positive change for your family.

Approach

Therapy moves from conversation to clear, doable steps families can try between meetings. I offer in-person sessions in Bath, New York and secure online appointments in English, keeping practical follow-up and communication straightforward. Sessions mix brief observations, age-appropriate activities, targeted parent coaching and short assessments to track progress, with concrete feedback and simple practice tasks aimed at easing anxiety, improving attention and strengthening everyday routines. This way of working tends to fit families seeking practical tools and steady teamwork.
