Growing up is not easy, particularly these days. Young people face both peer and academic pressures, shifts in the family (like divorce or relocation), the onset of hormones in adolescence and the ever-present challenge of managing their emotions. The potential issues and intense feelings run a wide gamut, and for many children and adolescents, this is the first time they have encountered and had to manage these emotions.
Therapy can help children (and parents) understand important relationships in their lives, especially if the child has questions or wants to make changes. Our families typically reach out to us because one of them is having trouble managing their own feelings or often feeling angry, sad or anxious. No matter their age, therapy may be the best choice to help a child work toward meaningful changes.
We are here to help in any way we can, whether that means setting goals with your child or giving them the tools they need to meet their daily demands.
