Bio

Dr. Bruno is a mom and a child psychologist who runs a private practice, Child Psychology of Long Island. She treats children with generalized anxiety, selective mutism, separation anxiety, OCD, ADHD and other behavioral disorders. Dr. Bruno began her career as a school psychologist. She has experience in both public and private school settings from preschool to high school. Dr. Bruno left her job in the school setting with the goal of helping more kids and families, and being there as a more stable support across kids lives. Since becoming a mother to a neurodivergent child, Dr. Bruno took a special interest in providing support and training for parents of kids with ADHD, ASD, and PDA. 

​

Dr. Bruno takes a holistic approach to child care, addressing individual needs. She provide a variety of services, such as diagnostic evaluations, evidence-based treatment, and family support and education. Early on in her practice Dr. Bruno saw the need for a more comprehensive treatment program for anxious kids.  Although weekly individual therapy sessions are effective, they can be expensive, require a lot of work and practice in-between sessions, and often have long waiting lists. In 2021 she piloted a small group program in her backyard. During just five days kids made huge strides in their ability to separate, speak and interact with new people in a new environment. The program has grown into what is now, Club Confident™.

​

Club Confident is a therapeutic program designed to help anxious children face their fears, speak proudly, and live confidently.​ The goal is not only to treat symptoms of anxiety but also equip children with lifelong tools for healthy living and skills for managing stress. The program is intended for children ages 4-13 who are experiencing symptoms of generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, selective mutism, social anxiety, OCD, or ARFID.
