Getting to know Lileian Rizek
Watching your child struggle without knowing how to help is one of the hardest places a parent can be. I've been there alongside more than 200 families, and I want you to know there's real hope. Kids today are facing things most of us never had to at their age, and you don't have to figure it all out on your own. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help kids and their parents better understand the big feelings we all have, and to find new ways of handling them, together.
What should a new client know about working with you?
A lot of my work is with kids and teens who feel overwhelmed. When we were growing up, we learned ways to handle the world around us, and for a lot of us, those tools were enough. Our kids are dealing with so much more coming at them, and they need stronger tools to keep up. That's where CBT comes in. Together, we'll find practical skills your child can actually use at home, at school, and with friends, and practice them until they start to feel natural.
Sometimes the overwhelm comes from something deeper, like a painful or traumatic experience. When that's the case, we'll slow down and work through it together, at a pace that feels safe. My hope is to help your child see that what happened to them doesn't get to define who they are. It becomes something in the background instead of a distracting thing on the surface.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I like to start by getting to know both you and your child, so we can build something that feels like a real team. A lot of my work is about strengthening the connection within families, and that kind of trust takes a little time. That doesn't mean we'll spend weeks just talking, though! I try to give your family something practical to start using early on, sometimes even in our very first session.
As we go, I'll get to know who your child is and what makes them special. Part of overcoming the overwhelm is discovering and using your child’s strengths. If something deeper comes up, we'll make room to work through that too. My hope is that within the first six months, you'll start to see real, meaningful changes, and often sooner when skills are practiced consistently at home.
Once you book, you'll get an appointment link and an insurance eligibility check from Headway, the platform I use for scheduling and billing. Thank you for considering me to support you and your child.
