The Parent Train in Riverdale, NJ, is your essential hub for comprehensive mental health support tailored specifically for children, teens, couples, and families. Our dedicated team of over 25 licensed professionals is passionate about providing a wide array of services, all conveniently located in a warm and welcoming environment.

We understand that each individual has unique needs, which is why we employ a variety of counseling approaches, including traditional talk therapy, innovative creative techniques, and engaging play-based strategies. This ensures that everyone—regardless of age or circumstance—receives thoughtful and personalized care.

In addition to our counseling services, we offer a variety of testing and assessments for diagnostic needs (such as ASD, ADHD, and more), including evaluations for developmental disabilities. This thorough approach helps us better understand each individual’s challenges and strengths, allowing us to tailor our interventions effectively.

We are particularly committed to supporting children with special needs by offering specialized services such as speech and occupational therapy, complemented by our exciting new sensory gym designed to enhance their developmental experiences. Our occupational therapy services enhance sensory skills, offering benefits such as improved body awareness and the development of self-regulation techniques. We create personalized sensory plans to help children manage stimuli, reducing anxiety and frustration, and engage in group activities to promote social skills. Additionally, we teach coping mechanisms in safe spaces, allowing children to navigate overwhelming sensations effectively. This holistic approach fosters confidence and independence, significantly improving their emotional well-being and overall quality of life. Together, we can create a nurturing environment that allows them to thrive!

Moreover, we provide invaluable support for families navigating the complexities of life transitions, including parenting challenges, adoption processes, foster care situations, and much more. Join our community and discover the compassionate support you deserve on your journey toward well-being and happiness!
