Child Therapy

Child Therapy



Has your Child been acting out lately?

Do they have difficult behaviors that cause problems in their daily life?

Are you concerned that your child does not have quality peer relationships?

Are they doing poorly in school?

Have they recently experienced a trauma or loss?

Are you concerned about their mood or emotions?

Or do you just feel like you have lost that relationship with them that you once had?



Psychotherapy can help you and your child get back on track.



Here are a few reasons parents might seek Psychotherapy for their Child:



"It seems like no matter what I try I am always arguing with my child." (power struggles, defiance, disrespect,)

Family therapy can give you and your child the opportunity to speak and be heard. The simple process of communicating your experiences in therapy can often open up lines of communication and increase cooperation within your family. As you gain a new understanding of each other, solutions become available to you that seemed impossible before.



"I have a good relationship with my child but as a parent, I sometimes feel that they can benefit from another adult to talk to that is separate from our situation." (role models, support, guidance)

The benefit of individual therapy, is that in the process of having another person listen, a child begins to communicate their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Psychotherapists utilize interventions that incorporate play and experiential interactions that help a child to explore their personal world. We work together to identify their strengths and resources and use them towards success. In individual therapy with children I establish a relationship that is respectful of their uniqueness and autonomy as a person, while encouraging accountability to expectations of others and themselves.



"My child needs help with their mental health" (mental health difficulties, school or doctor recommended)

Your child may struggle with mental health related to their behavior, or symptoms of mood or anxiety. Psychotherapy can help you and your child address these obstacles in a way that allows them to get the most out of life. In my practice, I utilize practical interventions and therapeutic interactions to help you and your child gain a stronger understanding of themselves. You and your child will learn to manage symptoms and gain a sense of self control and self esteem as we highlight you and your child's strengths and resources together.
