Anxiety in Children and Adolescents in East Setauket, NY

Understanding Anxiety in Children and Teenagers

It’s normal for children and teens to worry at times — but when anxiety becomes constant, overwhelming, or interferes with daily life, professional care can make a difference.

Family life changes, school changes, trouble with friends, romantic turmoil and bullying are some of the events that can trigger anxiety in children and adolescents.


At Resilience Psychiatry, we help children and teenagers understand their worries, manage fears, and build healthy coping skills.
Our child-focused, family-centered approach creates a safe space for open communication and steady progress.


Led by Dr. Jessica Carbajal Cáceda, a board-certified Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, our practice provides compassionate, bilingual care tailored to each child’s unique needs.

Signs of Anxiety in Children and Teenagers

 

  • Excessive worry about school, friends, or family
  • Physical symptoms such as headaches or stomachaches
  • Irritability, restlessness, or crying spells
  • Perfectionism or fear of making mistakes
  • Sleep disturbances or nightmares
  • Avoidance of school or social situations
  • Difficulty concentrating or completing homework

When these symptoms begin to affect mood, behavior, or daily functioning, a professional evaluation can help determine the best course of treatment.
