Counseling for Children

Seeing your child suffer is heartbreaking.

Your heart hurts when your child comes home from school crying again.

She’s in the 5th grade, and you remember how the girls in your 5th-grade class behaved. Your daughter doesn’t know why someone called her that name on the playground and ran away from her, and she wonders why she didn’t receive Maddie’s birthday party invitation.

Those girls keep excluding your daughter, just like they did when you were in school.

Your heart breaks.

You know in your gut that something is wrong.

Something seems different with your child. You worry a lot and try to compare him to other children.

He’s always cried a lot, and his big temper shows up when he gets frustrated. When he’s around other children, they do not want to play with him. You’ve hoped he would outgrow these behaviors and make more friends. Instead, it all seems to be getting worse.

He becomes aggressive when he does not get his way. Today, his principal called and said he needed to come home because he had hit another child.

Both you and your child feel exhausted, confused, and lost.

Who can help?

When you see that your child needs something, but you aren’t sure what to give or how to help, it’s normal to talk to other parents, read books from the experts, scour the internet for similar stories, and try the solutions that are suggested.

But then the solutions don’t work. Your child needs more. You know that therapy works for adults, so you wonder if connecting with an expert who cares and has the education and experience could be the next level of help that will make the difference.

There is hope for your child. Therapy can help.

Children’s therapy offers your child a safe, non-judgmental environment to process, learn, understand, and work through play. Our counselors will learn about your child and teach them emotional identification and regulation skills, helping them resolve problems. Your child will discover appropriate behaviors and social interaction. Children develop confidence through trusted interactions and positive modeling from adults.

Play is your child’s natural language.

Our therapists use this proven therapeutic approach with your child to challenge them in a fun, comfortable way. This approach will allow your child to feel safe and not feel shame for his struggle. The skills he will learn through therapy will provide a healthy start to emotional regulation and communication skills he will carry through his life.

Childhood does have struggles. By providing your child with an early start through therapy, he can develop emotional identification and the ability to communicate his feelings instead of becoming aggressive or isolating. This change will allow him to develop friends and give him the freedom to speak with you or other trusted adults about his hurts and needs.
