About Us
The Founder's Mission
I'm Greg Perlman LCSW, the founder of our practice. With over a decade of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Westchester County, I've worked extensively with children and families in various settings, including foster care, addiction treatment, community clinics, and private practices. Our mission at Croton Children and Family Counseling is to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for families in Croton on Hudson and the surrounding areas facing emotional distress. We strive to empower families to navigate life's challenges with resilience and strength. Recognizing the importance of support for clinicians, I am committed to fostering a culture of collaboration and growth within our practice. Our goal is to create a community where clinicians feel valued and empowered to make a meaningful impact.
Thank you for considering Croton Children and Family Counseling as your partner on your journey to wellness. We look forward to supporting you every step of the way.
Our Approach
At Croton Children and Family Counseling, our approach is firmly grounded in a Strengths-Based and Client-Centered philosophy. We believe that every individual possesses the inherent resources needed to overcome life's challenges. Our role is to guide children and families in identifying and harnessing these strengths effectively. Children, especially, require validation and empowerment to navigate various stressors, whether stemming from academic pressure, family dynamics, social issues, self-esteem issues, or mental health concerns. Establishing a strong therapeutic bond built on trust and validation is paramount in empowering children to tackle these stressors and achieve their goals. We understand the critical role families play in a child's therapeutic journey. It's essential for families to continue the supportive atmosphere cultivated in therapy at home. By assisting families in feeling strong and capable, we foster a collaborative environment where everyone is on the same team, working together to overcome challenges and achieve lasting wellness.
