Are you wondering how to help your sad or anxious child? Or wondering how to respond to the up and down moods of your teen? If you feel your child is struggling inside their home, at school or in their social environments and you feel everything you’ve tried isn’t working then that is where I come in. I am here to help you navigate through these difficult times. As a parent, you want nothing but the best for your child, but sometimes situations occur that you simply can’t “fix” on your own. That is when it’s best to call upon someone with expertise in the area. I would be happy to help you through these difficult times.
Child & adolescent counseling is therapy that focuses on children & teens. It provides aid to youths, who are experiencing emotional and/or behavioral problems, trauma, bullying or stressful home environments. The goal of therapy is to break down problems into manageable parts, so children can better understand & cope with them.
Therapy for children/teens is designed to give them a safe space where they can be open about what they’re going through without fear of judgment or rejection. Even if they have a strong support system at home, their own fears may cause them not to share with a family member. Setting your child up with a trained therapist can help them work through this.
