About Kurtz Psychology

Kurtz Psychology Consulting PC was formed in 2014 to serve the needs of children and families facing emotional, behavioral, and other psychological challenges.

The founder, Dr. Steven Kurtz, is an internationally recognized expert in child psychology with specializations in a number of areas, including but not limited to ADHD, oppositional and defiant behavior, anxiety, and educational challenges.  He also is the founder of the Selective Mutism Programs at both the NYU Child Study Center and the Child Mind Institute.  He created the Brave Buddies & Mighty Mouth programs, serving the needs of children around the globe with selective mutism.

Kurtz Psychology launched the Capstone program in 2020, providing the only intensive summer program for young children with disruptive behavior and self-regulation difficulties that includes an onsite parent training component.

Dr. Kurtz is one of only 21 certified Global Trainers in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy(PCIT) – a gold standard treatment for young children with oppositional and defiant behaviors, often co-occurring with other disorders such as ADHD, anxiety, or autism spectrum disorder.
