Children
As adults, we experience big and small life events that we struggle to cope with. Children are the same, however they may not have the brain development or language yet as we do. Additionally children often experience big feelings that they may not understand or struggle to process. Children don not primarily express themselves verbally, which is why our child therapists are trained in more expressive modalities of art and play therapy. Art and Play therapy encourages children to express themselves in ways that are developmentally appropriate and natural for them.
Concerns that we may be able to help with include:
Social Skills
Big Feelings
Life Changes/Transitions
Grief/Loss
Trauma
Mindfulness
Adolescent Counseling
It’s tough when your teen is in pain, and you’re unable to fix it. As a parent or caregiver, you may want your teen to feel confident. You're willing to do what it takes to support them, but you aren't sure how. Maybe you've scoured the internet for help, read parenting books, and asked your friends for advice on what to do. The suggestions you got may have helped a little, but they didn't solve the problems.
Whether your teen is sharing things with you that upset you both, or turning away and leaving you wondering what’s actually going on – you know something is different. Something is wrong. You’re determined to get them help. We can help!
We provide a safe, confidential, and encouraging environment for teens to explore their concerns and develop skills and strategies that will help them to meet developmental milestones.
