3yr old psychologist rec?
Not really sure if this is the right place to post this but I am grasping at straws now to find a psychologist that will see my 3 yr old.... My daughter just turned 3 and is having major aggression and anger issues, on top of nightmares for the past year (pedi confirmed they are not night terrors). Her pediatrician kept chalking it up to terrible 2's until recently, now we are looking into a child psychologist. However no one that they can recommend will take her age, so we tried contacting a developmental but she does not fall into any of the categories they test for. She is not mixing with kids her own age anymore, has been excluded from play groups and I think this is making things worse. If anyone can recommend a dr. or has had a similar situation any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Have you contacted your school district? I would start them and request a developmental screening.

awww poor thing 
My friend's son saw Dr. Brett Goldberg. I just googled his phone number - its (516) 466-6440. I believe he may have a few locations too.

Re: 3yr old psychologist rec?
I posted this on the other board:
I would request a psychological and an educational evaluation from your school district (CPSE --Committe of Preschool Special Education) to rule out any difficulties with processing of information which can lead to frustration and behavior problems. It's totally free and it will provide you with a starting point. Does she attend daycare/preschool? If she does and she is also exhibiting difficulties functioning in that environment, the school district will want to hear from them as well to get an overall picture of how you DD is functioning in different settings.
If for some reason she doesn't qualify for services under CPSE, you can always call any agency and pay out of pocket for play therapy and parent training from a psychologist. A Psychologist who is a BCBA (Board Certified Behavioral Analysist) might also be a huge help in developing behavioral plans, reward systems etc. to eliminate problem behaviors and to determine the underlying cause of the behaviors.

Re: 3yr old psychologist rec?
Sorry you are going through this. My sister saw a psychologist and started when she was about 4. My parents thought he was wonderful and had great success with him. My mom recommends him to anyone who is in need of a child psychologist. His name is Dr. Philip Stein and he is located in Garden City. Here is his profile on Psychology Today
Good luck!
