THERAPY FOR CHILDREN
Therapy can help people of all ages, including children and their caregivers. It provides a safe space, an “outside” perspective, and opportunities to grow and learn. Our therapists have experience with a variety of concerns, such as mood problems, anxiety and fears, behavior issues, parenting challenges, and tantrums. We also help children heal from child sexual abuse and other trauma. We work with children ages 3 and up.
THERAPY FOR TEENS
Adolescence can be a challenging time. Whether your teen is struggling with school or relationships, with figuring out who she is, or making healthy choices, therapy can help. Our team includes therapists who love to work with teens and have experience helping youth who are struggling with depression, anxiety, and more.
TRAUMA THERAPY
If your child has been sexually abused, exposed to domestic violence, or experienced some other trauma (like a car accident or dog bite), he or she may develop post-traumatic symptoms. Changes in mood, behavior, or personality are totally understandable when a child has had a very scary or even life-threatening experience. All of our therapists have special interest in helping children and teenagers heal from trauma. This includes working with youth in foster care and adoptive homes who have experienced chronic trauma and disrupted attachments.
EVALUATION & ASSESSMENT
A psychological evaluation is a helpful starting point when it isn’t clear why your child is struggling or what he/she needs. The goal of an evaluation is to get a clear sense of what your child’s areas of difficulty are, why your child is having those difficulties, and how to address them. It can also be helpful if you need to figure out whether a certain diagnosis, like ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), makes sense for your child.
HELP FOR PARENTS
Maybe it’s cliche to say that children don’t come with an instruction manual, but it’s certainly true. Even so, any parent who has gone looking for answers has likely found an overwhelming amount of information and opinions. Parents are often left wondering which path is the right one and how best to help their children grow into happy, healthy human beings. We are here to help you find your way.
