Children and Teens Therapy

• Has your family experienced loss or trauma?
• Is your teen struggling with depression or anxiety?
• Is your child being bullied?

Many parents we have talked with feel stressed, discouraged and even anxious. They feel overwhelmed about what to do and how to help their child.

Perhaps you’ve had these challenges with your child:

• You’ve moved or divorced and you’re concerned about your child’s reaction. She isn’t coping, is moody and it’s hard to talk. You worry if she will be OK.
• Your child reports that schoolmates are teasing them. They’re showing signs of anxiety or depression but they won’t talk about it and says no one can help. You’re not sure how to help your child when they are being bullied.
• Your home has become a battleground. You hope for those feel-good moments that never seem to happen anymore. You may feel embarrassed that sometimes you don’t even like your child.
• Your child has been exposed to a shocking or scary event. You’re not sure what you should or can do, especially when your child says nothing is wrong, but you see him changing. You’re concerned about him, and worry that he may never be the same.
• Your child has lost a grandparent, friend or pet and is not springing back to life, or is acting out her grief in upsetting ways. You’re not sure what to do.
• You may find parenting more difficult that you ever imagined. Instead of bringing you joy, your family may feel like just one more stressor. Being nice, or being demanding, doesn’t seem to work. You fear that maybe you’re not good enough, and feel guilty and hurt by your children.

Well, take a deep breath! Relax and realize these are solvable problems. We have been working with children and teenagers for many years. After 3000 hours spent with children and parents, we are delighted to offer you therapy tools that work. We love helping families use their strengths to cope and thrive.

If any of these situations sound familiar, please call us to set up a counseling appointment. We really enjoy talking with parents and helping them to reclaim hope in their children and in themselves.

This work is not just a job to us. We consider it our calling, and are deeply committed to helping kids and families mend.

To make it easy for you, we accept most health insurance plans.
