Child, Adolescent & Young Adult Therapy
Meet Dr. Bridgid Conn
Licensed Clinical Psychologist | Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychologist | she/her
School-Age Children · Teens · Young Adults · Families · Psychological & Psychoeducational Assessments
I believe every child and teen deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood, and that families thrive when everyone has the support they need.
As a board-certified child and adolescent psychologist, I work with children, teens, young adults, and their families to navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, trauma, and chronic health conditions. My approach is collaborative, structured, and focused on practical strategies that help families make meaningful progress together.
A Little About Me
From the very beginning of my training, I've been drawn to helping children and families build stronger, more harmonious relationships. Some of my earliest work involved leading workshops for parents and grandparents at a Head Start program in Boston, helping caregivers navigate challenging behaviors and better understand the children in their lives.
That experience helped shape something I still believe deeply: everyone has an important role in a family, and everyone deserves to feel supported. I want children and teens to know their voices matter, while helping parents feel confident and equipped to support them.
I see myself as an additional member of your family's team, someone who can offer guidance, practical tools, and a fresh perspective as you work toward your goals. It's a privilege to be invited into that process.
Outside of my clinical work, I'm an enthusiastic thrift store and antique hunter. I love discovering the history and stories behind the things I find. I also enjoy road trips, exploring new places, and spending time with my Shiba Inu, Ume.

Who Might Be a Good Fit?
I work especially well with families who appreciate a structured, goal-oriented approach and are ready to participate actively in the process. That includes practicing new skills between sessions and collaborating with other professionals when additional support may be helpful.
How We’ll Work Together
Building a trusting relationship is one of the most important parts of our work together. During our first few sessions, I'll take time to get to know your child or teen, understand your family's experiences, and learn what you'd most like to change. Together, we'll identify meaningful goals and begin exploring strategies to help you reach them.
My approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment that helps people understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our sessions are collaborative and structured, with opportunities to learn new skills, practice them together, and apply them in everyday life.
I believe progress happens both inside and outside the therapy room. Parents and caregivers play an important role, and I'll often recommend activities or strategies to practice between appointments.
I also welcome your feedback throughout our work. Whether we're adjusting treatment goals or reviewing assessment findings, I want our time together to feel productive, validating, and genuinely helpful for your family.
