This unique experience by Dr. Sussman really brought my son's introverted personality into his own perspective. He saw peers that were there for similar circumstances and really helped him to see that it is not only him. He witnessed first hand how Dr. Sussman was able to build the children and allow the peers to help. The system of rewards was great also.
Since we started taking our son to Dr. Sussman's sessions there has been so much improvement with him in every way. Although Dr. Sussman's method might to someone seam unconventional our son her truly thrived since seeing him.
Dr. Sussman is upfront in explaining that his methods are not traditional therapy. The therapy is interactive, and game show like, with some good-natured ribbing/teasing that is a throwback to a time where everyone actually talked with each other. Along the way jokes, and interaction between the patents and Dr. Sussman help keep the sessions fun. If a patient has a particularly bad week, guidance is given to get on the right track. If a good week is had, then the patient is rewarded and encouraged to continue. Humor is used ... read more
We have been seeing doctor Sussman for about 8 months and I've seen a phenomenal change in my son's behavior with me, as well as his peers. Going to the weekly sessions, recieving continuous positive feedback from Dr. Sussman, and of course earning prizes motivate my son to do better with me, and at school. Attending the group is entertaining for the parents as well! Dr. Sussman keeps us engaged as we cheer on our children's success, also by telling jokes here and there. I give Dr. Steve Sussman 2 thumbs up!
My son was recently diagnosed with ADHD which added more stress to his adolescent phase. Dr. Sussman’s methodology is somewhat unorthodox but it’s helped my son and me as a parent that he is not alone and we can get through any phase together. Dr. Sussman runs the sessions in a group setting where the kids sit in front of him and the parents sit in the back. He uses a point reward system that motivates the kids to do better every week. Dr. Sussman approach has worked very well for my family and I and would recommend it to ot... read more
We can’t say enough positive things about Dr Steve. He runs a group therapy session like a game show with prizes for improved behavior, many jokes and a chance for kids to hear how others are coping with related issues based on parent feedback each week. Our son went to the sessions for over a year and has made incredible progress in his behavior on multiple fronts, and we would thoroughly recommend Dr Steve’s approach as a unique alternative to other forms of counseling.
Dr. Sussman makes the sessions fun with his game show antics and somewhat corny jokes. He uses a scoring method to encourage the kids to strive to,improve their behavior. Since its a group's setting it also,helps the kids to know they are not alone with their behavior issues and with effort they can really improve. Dr Sussman helps them realize this without judging them. I woukd definirely recommend him
Dr. Steve changed our lives. I have seen my son Tyler grow and overcome all the issues he once struggled with. He is now such a happy well adjusted kid who has the tools to be successful in all situations both at home and in school. We have seen Dr. Steve as a family every week for the last 3 years. I am proud to say that due to Tyler’s many successes he is now officially “graduating” from Dr. Steve, and tonite will be our last session (I’m a little sad too because we are going to miss seeing him every week) If you are looki... read more
Very unorthodox (and Dr Steve will tell you so) but it works. After trying years of one on one counseling with no results the power of group therapy was amazing. At first I wasn’t sure as my son only spoke for a few minutes but then realized the power is in hearing other kids issues...overall I’m a big fan and would tell anyone trying Dr Steve to make sure you give it a few weeks as it does work
