Going through significant change or stress?
Separation and divorce?
Loss of a family member?
Or challenges of change as children go through developmental phases?

Family therapy may be a very useful approach when the need for improved communication skills exists, when managing conflict or power struggles is necessary, or when a family is facing some particular circumstance that the whole family needs to learn about and discuss together, such as facing a serious illness or some other significant change to the way the family has operated. Some of our therapists offer this family approach and will assist family members with an assessment and plan for addressing the issues together.

Child Therapy

Often individual therapy for a child is appropriate when there are certain behavioral problems that the family is having trouble managing, or when a child may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or adjustment issues such as adapting to changes caused by separation or divorce. Therapy may be needed in order to evaluate learning and behavioral challenges associated with attention deficit disorders, with selective mutism, or with other developmental problems.  

Work with Adolescents

As children mature into adolescence the stress in their lives often increases and this can be a very important time to seek therapeutic support. The rapid physiological and neurological changes in the body and the brain during this developmental phase create challenges that may require insight and behavioral strategies to manage. The issues of communication, challenges to parental control, and peer influences can benefit from the presence of an objective presence in the therapist that may defuse some of the parenting struggles that exist.

This age group often benefits from having a trusted confidante who can help them in their process of self discovery, educate on more effective coping strategies and communication skills, and offer guidance in making decisions and exercising judgment.

Is Your Child Struggling With Anxiety?

Have you noticed that your child often feels uncomfortable or anxious, but you don’t understand why? Is he or she having a hard time managing disruptive behavior at home or at school? Is your child constantly worrying about his or her ability to perform in school or navigate friendships? Maybe your child is experiencing symptoms like irrational fears, rapid heartbeat, headaches and stomach aches without a clear cause. Or perhaps your child is suddenly having difficulty sleeping, and your morning routine has left you both physically and emotionally exhausted. He or she may throw temper tantrums or experience separation anxiety when leaving for the school day. You might be concerned about how increased stress or anxiety in your own life – going through a divorce or changing careers, for example – is affecting your child. Or you might know that anxiety runs in your family and want your child to learn healthy coping skills early. Do you wish you had the information and tools you needed to help your child manage symptoms and reduce anxiety in his or her life?
