Anxiety Relief for Student Athletes NOW
I am an educational psychologist with over two decades of success coaching clients as they navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, learning differences, and autism related communication/social skill challenges to maximize their performance and enjoy balanced living. I study philosophies and techniques from psychology, neuropsychology, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness practices to know what works well and for whom. Then through collaborative problem solving and compassion based teaching, I work closely with each client as they learn and practice specific strategies well suited for their unique learning styles. What happens next is reduced suffering and increased quality of life. The other great news is that getting relief can be convenient and even fun as I make house calls and when we work together on these serious issues we do so in environments comfortable to you with burden lifting honesty, respectful and uplifting communications, and humor which is like CrossFit for the brain. This tried and true technique is designed to be efficient, enjoyable, and CONFIDENTIAL. Please see below for more details.

Testimonials
Single Dad of two and Studio Executive
"Impressively efficient! Our family has worked with many psychologists individually over the years for marriage problems, panic attacks, addictions, and our youngest child’s Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. But this time divorce seemed imminent plus our oldest child was having serious anger and school problems too; so we decided to get help for the whole family. Dr. Lois flew in to NYC and stayed nearby. Then each day, she came over as scheduled to work with each of us. Regular sit down discussions were productive, but the real magic, came as Dr. Lois spent time with us doing family activities. I thought this would be awkward, but it was not. The kids loved their individual and family play therapy time with Dr. Lois and so did my wife and I. (Plus she has the best accent.) When arguing happened, Dr. Lois showed us all better ways to communicate our needs and work out solutions that were in everyone’s best interest. Each of us was dealing with some heavy, dark feelings, but were able to face those head on with Dr. Lois’ practical advice and knowledgeable support. Actually, most of the parenting tips were beautifully simple and we implemented those right away – and still do. Our family is now able to have much more enjoyable “quality time” and we all improved our emotional regulation and communication skills. This unique approach to problem solving is actually enjoyable because the progress is clear and is at the pace I prefer. I plan to work with Dr. Lois again should the need arise at work or home."

"It wasn’t our plan to take Dr. Lois on a ski vacation. Our family had issues to deal with and being together on vacation gave us all the bandwidth we needed to work on them. Our daughter was struggling with some anxiety and depression, which was having a significant effect on her school work and relationship with the family. Getting things on track was a top priority for us be we didn’t know what to do or how to turn things around and we were overwhelmed by daily activity. Dr. Lois was able to coach us and moderate some very emotional conversations where everyone felt heard. Being “offsite” and away from the day-to-day made all our work more collaborative and respectful. We all learned better ways to express our feelings, listen, and communicate. The session notes and follow up were very useful in keeping us on track and building momentum for positive change. Our daughter’s grades, mood, and engagement with the family have all improved dramatically. It is hard to imagine making this much progress in another setting or with another Doctor. Her professionalism, playful demeanor, and expertise made our experience transformative, plus she is a pretty good skier.”

"I highly recommend the Intensive Home Counseling. My Husband and I were going through a very emotional and intense situation in our marriage and Dr. Lois came to our rescue. She did a wonderful job of “distracting” our children with meaningful activities and discussions about what they were feeling about what was happening with Mommy and Daddy. Also, when my husband and I would have conversations that would escalate with anger, she was there to bring us “back down” and help us to discuss the situation and our emotions in a more productive way. I believe Dr. Lois helped us get through what is possibly the worst week we have had in our marriage. She did this with understanding and gave us the tools we needed to make the best of the situation at hand."

"Adolescence was a very difficult time for our 15 year old son. Difficulties with ADHD, anger management, relationships, self-esteem, identity issues, burgeoning sexuality, experimentation with drugs and cutting were all conspiring to produce a crescendo of dysfunction both at school and at home for him and for our entirely family. Although we had been seeing a local psychologist and psychiatrist for over a year and had participated in individual and family therapy, completed expensive testing and evaluations and tried a variety of medications – our situation was continuing to deteriorate. We were considering our next options – a local intensive outpatient program, an eight-week therapeutic wilderness program or a therapeutic boarding school. Before taking any of these more drastic steps, we decided to try a week of intensive in-home therapy. Dr. Prislovsky accompanied us on a planned family trip to the mountains. Days spent on long hikes, fishing, rafting, biking and preparing family meals together all proved to be environments much more conducive to listening, hearing, healing and practicing new skills and strategies. This was immensely helpful not only for our son, but for my husband and me and our other children as well. While there is no such thing as a quick and easy one time fix for all the tribulations of adolescence or parenthood, I do feel like we accomplished more in this week than is the entire previous year. Dr. Prislovsky continues to provide ongoing support for our family and become a trusted and invaluable resource."

"Our son was having a terrible time dealing with our messy divorce and my x-husband’s alcoholism. Our son’s schoolwork, communication challenges, ADHD issues, fears, anger, and social skill problems were overwhelming. Dr. Prislovsky’s intensive in home, in school, and in play (hiking, boating, swimming, skiing, biking, rock climbing, and around the neighborhood adventures, etc.) counseling helped us work through it all. In home and at play counseling were very effective because Dr. P was warm and straightforward so our son trusted her and enjoyed their time together. Our son’s behaviors were shaped quickly in a light hearted and mutually respectful way. We all learned a lot! Our son began to change habits that did not serve him well right away. Dr. P’s help at school was also critically important. Dr. P worked with his teachers, principal, and school psychologist as our advocate. Our family, the school staff, administration, and psychologist liked and respected Dr. P, so tensions were reduced and everyone worked together for our son’s best interest. We are all now doing very well and are grateful for Dr. P’s intensive care when we needed it the most."
Signed with a happy heart, A grateful Mom
"We are so grateful to God that Lois is a part of all of our lives. Through her knowledge and grace, Dr. Lois helped our children/our family learn to live and grow with their different learning styles( ADD and ADHD) Less frustration leads to happier families! Lois taught us that being accountable is essential to being successful. You must own your choices, right or wrong always learn from them. Lois, has a gift of knowing what to say and how to say it. Our children listened and acted on it! Our children are thriving in their careers and enjoying life. The “Time” our children/our family spent with Lois is invaluable. It’s not just about school and college ….. it’s about Life!"
