Child and Family Counseling Services

Children and Family Counseling Services

Our therapy services are dedicated to helping children and families navigate the challenges of mental health, offering compassionate, individualized care to support emotional, behavioral, and developmental growth. We understand that each family and child is unique, and we tailor our approaches to meet their specific needs. Whether you’re facing general mental health concerns or need help with more specific challenges, we provide a safe, non-judgmental space for healing, understanding, and growth.

Services Offered:

Individual Therapy for Children: Focus on helping children address emotional and behavioral concerns. With a mix of evidence-based techniques, we help children develop coping strategies, improve self-regulation, manage mental health, and build resilience. Therapy may focus on issues such as:

  • Anxiety, fears, and phobias
  • Depression and sadness
  • Anger management
  • Difficulty with peer relationships or bullying
  • Coping with trauma or loss
  • Behavioral concerns 
  • Academic challenges and school stress

Family Therapy: Provides an opportunity for family members to come together and explore patterns of communication, behavior, and emotional dynamics. Our therapists work with families to foster healthier relationships, improve communication skills, and support each other through difficult times. Topics may include:

  • Improving family communication and conflict resolution
  • Managing stress and transitions (e.g., divorce, relocation)
  • Addressing behavioral concerns at home or school
  • Building a stronger, more connected family unit

Parent Support and Guidance: Our therapists offer support to parents navigating behavioral and mental health issues with their children. We provide guidance on:

  • Understanding childhood mental health concerns
  • Effective reinforcement strategies and behavioral interventions
  • Strengthening the parent-child bond
  • Managing stress and balancing family needs

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Children and Families: A structured, evidence-based approach that helps children and families understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps children develop healthier thinking patterns, reduce negative self-talk, and develop practical coping skills for handling stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions.

Trauma-Informed Therapy: Helps individuals process and heal from traumatic events. This includes supporting the child or family in understanding how trauma impacts emotional regulation, behavior, and relationships, while providing a safe and supportive environment to begin the healing process.
