Child Counseling

We realize that no two families or individuals are the same and as such we tailor our treatments to meet the specific needs of our clients and families.  Our child and adolescent counseling services are designed to help young people overcome a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and more. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques to help children and teens develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and achieve greater success in school and other areas of life.

We provide a safe and supportive environment for children and adolescents to be able express themselves in an open and honest manner.  In addition to Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) for young children with behavior problems, we have experience in a number of therapeutic interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), child-centered play therapy, mindfulness, and relaxation.   These comprehensive treatment interventions first seek to assess an individual’s symptoms, identify relevant diagnoses, and pinpoint specific causes. Treatment then identifies and targets individualized goals and tracks progress.  During counseling session we work build skills for individuals to better manage and cope with stressful situations in a more effective manner.  Anyone who may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety,  depression, trauma,  specific phobias, personal adjustments, peer/relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, or other stressors may benefit from counseling.  

We know that seeking help can be an overwhelming experience.  To help reduce that stress for you and your child please visit "Taking Your Child to a Therapist".
