Today’s times create unique challenges for children and teens, and rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness are on the rise. We have specialized training in providing individual therapy to children and teens, with a range of presenting issues. We use strength-based, client-centered, evidence-based techniques.
Does your child have trouble dealing with their emotions? Are they struggling socially? Are they showing behaviors that are disruptive and/or problematic? Are they coping with a chronic medical condition or have they experienced sudden loss or trauma? If the answer to any of these is a yes, your child could likely benefit from therapy.
Effective Forms of Therapy for Children and Adolescents
Therapy offers children and adolescents a safe space to work through their thoughts and emotions. With the help of a specialized therapist, children can resolve problems, modify behaviors, and make positive and lasting changes. Some types of therapy available include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), skills training, and play therapy.
Who is Therapy Right for?
At every age, children and teens can be faced with life’s challenges. The following are some of the events and scenarios that can impact a child or teen’s mental health and well-being:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress
- ADHD
- Executive Functioning Problems
- Peer Problems
- Emotional and/or Behavioral Problems
- Learning and/or Academic Problems
- Transitioning to a new school
- Parental Divorce or Separation

Therapy is not a quick fix to a child’s behavioral or emotional issues. It is instead a thoughtful and comprehensive process that provides children with insights and skills so that they may become masters of their thoughts and feelings. This, in essence, is how children develop into happy, healthy, and successful adults.
Our providers use strengths-based, client-centered, evidence-based practices.
