5 year old with anxiety

Anonymous
Who would you go to for a 5 year old with anxiety/perfectionist tendencies that are holding him back? He seems way too young for CBT.

I'd try if you could find someone at the Ross Center.

Too young for CBT but play therapy would be perfect.

Not too young for cbt. I'm a child therapist and a creative therapist will use cbt in conjunction with play therapy/ art therapy etc. it can be done.

Not too young for CBT. Try this book based on CBT techniques. Read it to him and do the exercises with him -- based on CBT.
