💔 When your child’s tears and fears make every goodbye painful, it can leave you feeling helpless.
If your child clings tightly, cries at school drop-off, or constantly worries when you’re apart, they may be struggling with Separation Anxiety—a common but deeply distressing challenge for both kids and parents.
At Dr. Messina & Associates, we understand how overwhelming this can feel. Through compassionate and evidence-based therapy, we help children learn to manage their fears, build emotional confidence, and feel safe even when they’re away from home.
Using child-centered approaches like play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and parent guidance sessions, we work together to:
🌱 Identify triggers behind your child’s anxiety
🌱 Teach calming and coping strategies
🌱 Strengthen communication between parent and child
🌱 Build lasting confidence and independence
You don’t have to face this alone—and your child doesn’t have to live in fear of separation.
💬 Let’s help your child find calm, confidence, and peace again.

😡 When anger feels uncontrollable, it’s easy for parents to feel helpless.
If your child’s frustration quickly turns into explosive outbursts, or if they seem constantly irritable and on edge, it may be more than just “bad behavior.”
These intense emotions could be signs of Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD) — a condition that affects how children and teens manage anger, frustration, and stress. Kids with DMDD aren’t trying to misbehave; they’re struggling with emotions that feel too big to handle.
At Dr. Messina & Associates, we help families understand what’s happening beneath the anger. Through therapy, parent coaching, and compassionate guidance, children learn to regulate emotions while parents learn effective tools for calm, consistent support.
DMDD doesn’t define your child — and it doesn’t have to define your home. With the right help, peace, understanding, and connection are possible again.
💬 If your child’s anger feels out of control, reach out today. Help and hope are within reach.

🧠 OCD is more than habits or quirks—it’s a daily battle that can feel impossible to escape.
For teens and adults living with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), life can become consumed by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors. It’s not about wanting things “perfect”—it’s about trying to find relief from constant anxiety and fear.
Common signs of OCD include:
🔹 Unwanted or intrusive thoughts that won’t stop
🔹 Repetitive behaviors like checking, cleaning, or counting
🔹 Seeking reassurance to feel safe
🔹 Avoiding situations that trigger anxiety
OCD can affect focus, relationships, and emotional well-being—but there is help, and treatment works.
At Dr. Messina & Associates, we provide therapy and psychiatric care for OCD in teens and adults using evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). These approaches help you regain control, reduce anxiety, and break free from the cycle of obsessions and compulsions.
You don’t have to face OCD alone. The path to peace begins with reaching out.

💬 When communication breaks down at home, even small misunderstandings can start to feel like walls.
If your family seems caught in constant arguments, growing distance, or moments where no one feels truly heard, family therapy can help you find your way back to understanding and connection.
At Dr. Messina & Associates, our family therapists create a safe and supportive environment where everyone has a voice. Through guided conversations and evidence-based strategies, families learn to:
✅ Communicate with clarity and compassion
✅ Resolve conflicts without blame or defensiveness
✅ Rebuild trust and emotional closeness
✅ Strengthen relationships built on respect and empathy
Family therapy isn’t about pointing fingers—it’s about learning to listen, express, and grow together. With the right support, families can turn tension into teamwork and rediscover what it means to feel connected again.
If your home feels more stressful than peaceful lately, there’s help—and there’s hope.
❤️ Start rebuilding communication and connection today.
