Looking for a child psychologist to deal with sleep / being scared issues for a 8 year old

Hi,

My son has issues sleeping at night as he is scared of his own shadow. It's getting to become a problem as he is not getting enough sleep. Can anyone please recommend a child psychologist or therapist that they have used in the past and loved. I want him to be able to talk to someone other than us, his parents about this.

Looking in Nassau area

thanks
Jennie

I went through that with my son and my pediatrician encouraged me to sit with him in his bed and tell stories about things he loved..we would talk about the beach and baseball etc..I would stay with him until he was very relaxed. It thankfully passed and my pediatrician said it was just a form of anxiety and would pass and it did :).
