- did you go to a child psychologist first for the anxiety? 2-13-2012 5:06pm
- DC sees a psychologist at his school already. 2-13-2012 5:09pm
- what type of therapy? How lo 2-13-2012 5:09pm

- School psychologist claims he has spoken with the doctor at length about this incident and it is bullcrap from an unstable parent. Not sure who to believe... Like the school...(more) 2-13-2012 5:21pm psychologist but I did see that article and it did concern me as well.
- what type of school is this. I would to someone else. I've been in the sn world for yrs and dc has been to many docs. Never heard this name before. 2-13-2012 5:25pm
- SN funded school that is discussed frequently on this board. I've got to believe there are other psychiatrists as well. Just seems weird. 2-13-2012 5:27pm
- of course there are. This name isn't remotely familiar. 2-13-2012 5:32pm
- i bet this is gateway. 2-13-2012 7:06pm

- np- why wouldnt she pass I'm more than one name? Seems fishy. Is this a school that is known to push therapy and place no value on therapy? 2-13-2012 7:01pm
- ^pass *on*... Sorry on phone 2-13-2012 7:01pm
- But this still says something about his approach to therapy. The article is very psychoanalytic.. That's such a terrible approach for a young dc with anxiety, and not to mention...(more) 2-13-2012 7:13pm
- As for the lawsuit, I wonder if it's available. The patient claims she has cell phone records of his multiple calls. If true, not good 2-13-2012 7:16pm
- there are definety crazy patients out there but this is unsettling. 2-13-2012 7:32pm
- I find it odd that the school only gave this name. But yes, I do know some patients are seriously mentally I'll and this is quite common. 2-13-2012 8:00pm

- Jonathan Lauter...(more) 8-2-2012 1:25pm I can only kick myself that I brought my child to him even after seeing the article about the lawsuit against him. He tells desperate parents everything they want to hear and then just manipulates them and the child. He is completely unskilled with meds and made error after error which could have been devastating but for our own decision to stop medications. He pretends to be a psychologist, but is again, unprofessional, unskilled and top dollar. You are in NYC - not North Dakota - there are options! find another child psychiatrist. I wish we had. The damage is done.

- please try good therapy if you haven't already, before medicating anxiety 2-13-2012 5:26pm
- Would you recommend CBT or is 5 too young? 2-13-2012 5:27pm
- cbt. My 4 year old sees a psych 2-13-2012 5:28pm
- your school psych wants to medicate a 5 yr old for anxiety??? 2-13-2012 5:29pm
- School psych suggestd considering this at this time -- wasn't pushing directly but definitely suggesting it could "cut through the anxiety" and make things easier for DC.... 2-13-2012 5:30pm
- Is dc asd? 2-13-2012 5:31pm
- No -- anxiety, sensory, motor, social emotional issues but no spectrum diagnosis. 2-13-2012 5:42pm
- Try cbt first, give it time though. Also, the psych will tell you if a medication consult is needed. 2-13-2012 5:43pm
- No -- anxiety, sensory, motor, social emotional issues but no spectrum diagnosis. 2-13-2012 5:42pm
- is he spectrum or limited verbally? 2-13-2012 5:38pm
- No. Quite verbal. 2-13-2012 5:42pm
- Private therapy like cbt first 2-13-2012 5:52pm +2 likes
- No. Quite verbal. 2-13-2012 5:42pm
- If you really trust you schools psych ask her for more names. If not get them here- I've gotten pronominal therapy and psych referrals here. 2-13-2012 5:40pm
- I've been happy with school psych overall but the whole meds recommendation kind of freaked me out. 2-13-2012 5:43pm
- I wonder what type of meds they are thinking of for a 5 year old with anxiety. I'm not aware of any. 2-13-2012 7:23pm
- np: We started investigating Prozac when my dc was 5. We didn't give it until dc had just turned 6, but of all the meds, it's the one with the longest history of being offered to...(more) 2-13-2012 7:26pm

- What CBTs would you recommend? 2-13-2012 5:32pm
- nick Seivert, dena rabinowitz, joanna robin were the names passed on to me. 2-13-2012 5:34pm
- np- love Seivert. Great with our school, very honest and will tell you if dc needs to be seen by a psychiatrist after some time in therapy. 2-13-2012 5:47pm
- OK. Just sent Seivert an email. Let's see when he thinks he'll have an opening and take it from there. Could look at Rabinowitz or Robin if it will be too long. Not super...(more) 2-13-2012 5:57pm

- Ive seen toddlers in sieverts office, I think it's fine as long as its a good doc who knows how to modify the therapy for young dc and add play, games, etc. 2-13-2012 5:36pm
