Child & Family Counseling in Hauppauge, NY

When something changes with your child, you usually feel it before you fully understand it. Maybe they are more anxious, angry, withdrawn, defiant, overwhelmed, or struggling at school. You may be wondering whether this is a phase, whether you are doing something wrong, or whether it is time to get help.

At Transformations Counseling Group in Hauppauge, we provide child and family counseling for children age 10 and older and families throughout Suffolk County. Every child and family is different, so the work starts with understanding what is happening underneath the behavior rather than assuming one answer fits everyone.

Our approach is about more than managing behavior. We help families understand the emotions, stress, patterns, communication problems, and relationships that can influence how a child acts and responds. The goal is not simply to talk about the problem once a week, but to help children and families practice different responses that can carry into everyday life.

“IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD.”

Because we focus on children and families, our therapists stay current with the most recent research and information. They use their own knowledge and experience and consult with each other, using a team approach to get the best possible options for each family’s situation.

DO YOU ASK YOURSELF...

Why are they behaving like this?
Is this normal for their age, or is something more going on?
How can I help my child?
How can I help without making things worse?
How do I respond when the same problem happens at home?
What should I be doing differently at home?
Won’t this just pass?
Is school, friendships, or family stress affecting them?
What should I be doing at home?
How do I set limits without losing connection with my child?
Will they always be like this? (sad, angry, defiant, etc.)
What do I do if they are hurting themselves?

CAN YOU HELP MY CHILD?

Parents are an important part of the process. Supporting your child does not mean removing expectations or accountability. It means understanding what is happening while learning how to respond in ways that can create healthier patterns.

Therapy should be more than conversation. Children and families may need to practice different ways of communicating, responding, setting boundaries, expressing emotions, and handling conflict outside of sessions. The work can include:

Communicating more clearly during difficult moments.

Setting clearer boundaries while staying connected to the child in front of you.

Recognizing when changes in behavior may be signaling distress rather than treating the behavior as a personal affront.

Children can have problems that affect how they feel, act, learn, and relate to the people around them.

An insurance deductible is "The amount you pay for covered health care services before your insurance plan starts to pay". With a $2,000 deductible, for example, you pay the first $2,000 of covered services yourself before the insurance company will start to reimburse the health care provider. Once a deductible is met, the amount you have to pay for a copay/co-insurance is set by your insurance company. You will need to contact them for the exact amount.

VERIFICATION OF INSURANCE DOES NOT GUARANTEE PAYMENT FROM YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY Pay portions are estimates based on the information provided to Transformations Counseling Group, LCSW by the patient and his or her insurance carrier. The patient/guarantor must understand that having an insurance benefit does not guarantee payment. Exact benefits are determined when claims are received by your insurance company. There is no guarantee on our part that claims will be paid. If a claim is denied, the client will be immediately billed for the outstanding amount while the denial is investigated. The insurance carrier makes the final decision as to whether payment will be made after it receives and reviews the claim. Some insurance companies use third-party processors for handling their mental health claims. This may be unknown to us at the time we verify your insurance and the information we receive can be inaccurate. We strongly recommend you check with your insurance provider for further explanation of your coverage. When a client is treated at Transformations Counseling Group, LCSW (TCG), as a courtesy, TCG’s staff contacts the patient’s third-party payor to check insurance eligibility and pre-certification for insurance payment. We do our best to get accurate information but verification doesn't guarantee payment or accuracy. We advise you to call and check with your insurance for your exact plan benefits. Every insurance policy is different. It is recommended that you contact your provider about copayment, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses, and pre-certification requirements. Also, as a courtesy, Transformations Counseling Group. LCSW will bill the client’s insurance carrier for services. The patient/guarantor is responsible for all outstanding balances should the insurance company fail to pay all or any part of the charges. The client’s Financial Counselor must be informed of all insurance coverage prior to the first visit. Any non-payment as a result of the patient’s/guardian’s failure to provide insurance information prior to the first visit is also the patient’s/guarantor's financial responsibility. It is the patient’s/guarantor’s responsibility to ensure that all insurance premiums, dues, and COBRA payments are current throughout the patient’s treatment at Transformations Counseling Group, LCSW PLLC Any costs incurred by the patient/guarantor due to a change in the patient’s insurance policy are the sole responsibility of the patient/guarantor. The patient’s insurance coverage is a contract between the client and an insurance carrier – not between Transformations Counseling Group, LCSW, and the insurance carrier. As such, the patient should be aware that insurance policies often change. It is the client’s sole responsibility to know his or her coverage. Any costs incurred by the patient/guarantor due to a change in the patient’s insurance policy are the sole responsibility of the patient/guarantor.
