Children and Teen Counseling

Having your child see a counselor can be a scary thought. Children and adolescences who experience loss, anxiety, or trauma need a safe place where they can process their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement or criticism.

Our child therapist is committed to help them develop social skills and emotional intelligence, giving you better insight into their mental health and stability. Child/ teen counseling is a partnership between the parent, the therapist, and the child, working together to help navigate the emotions and behaviors that develop through the different stages of their life.

To book an appointment simply reach out to us below through our online form or call our office. The initial session is called an intake or assessment. Your counselor will provide a confidential, safe, judgment-free environment for you and your child or teen. During this initial session the individual will complete their forms and meet with the counselor for 90 minutes. A personal history, review of any medications, past therapy, family history, and any medical and /or psychological concerns will be discussed, and then collaboratively working together we will formulate a treatment plan for future appointments.

Before leaving, the client will make several appointments of 50 minutes to then implement the desired goal for your child/ teenager along with the counselor’s guidance.
