Therapy for Children & Teens

It can be so difficult to see your children struggle.

As parents, seeing them face emotional and behavioral challenges, whether it's anxiety, depression, defiance, or social difficulties, can leave you feeling helpless and overwhelmed. You want to support them, but finding the right approach can be daunting. It’s natural to worry about their well-being and future, and you might feel frustrated when attempts to help seem to fall short.

Maybe you’re noticing:

  • Frequent arguments and defiance, where your child often argues with you or refuses to follow rules, creating constant tension at home.

  • Declining academic performance, as your child’s grades are slipping and they seem unmotivated or uninterested in school.

  • Communication breakdowns, with your child shutting down, refusing to talk, or reacting with hostility, making it difficult to connect.

  • Emotional struggles like signs of anxiety, depression, or extreme mood swings, worrying you about their well-being.

  • Social difficulties, such as trouble making friends, facing peer pressure, or experiencing bullying, leading to isolation or distress.

  • Excessive screen time, where your child spends too much time on their phone or computer, and setting boundaries results in conflicts.

  • Challenges with independence, as your child demands more freedom but struggles with responsibility, leading to frequent conflicts over boundaries.

  • Feeling stressed and overwhelmed, trying to balance work, family, and personal time.

Change is possible. With the right support and strategies, you can help your child navigate these challenges and foster a healthier, happier family dynamic.
