"We can always begin again."
Welcome To My Practice
I love the energy, honesty and humor of children, adolescents and young adults. During my 25-year career as a practicing Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, my goal has always been to establish trusting relationships with my patients that allow us to build treatment plans integrating their personal strengths and abilities. I opened my private practice in Huntington, NY in 2007, and through a comprehensive and collaborative approach, strive to understand how my patients fit within the larger context of family, school and community. I work closely with parents, therapists, pediatricians and schools – taking a team approach to improve the mental health of my patients.
Working with Dr. Bruning
My practice is a little different. If you’re looking for a practice where you drop in for a 10-minute session where I write a prescription and send you on your way, that’s not how I work. I value time. Time to get to know your child. Time to understand who they are and the context in which they move within the world around them. At this time, I have a hybrid practice, offering in-office and telehealth appointments.

Mindfulness Institute for Emerging Adults (MIEA)
Currently, along with my colleague Barbara Edell Fisher, Ph.D, I’m co-teaching an Introductory Mindfulness class from MIEA (formerly Koru Mindfulness). MIEA teaches how to calm the mind and body, to make clearer choices and become more compassionate to ourselves and others. We teach the basics of mindfulness meditation along with other practices to help our clients build the skills to reduce stress and encourage joy.
