Children and Teens

A child or adolescent in significant distress can be one of the most difficult situations a parent faces. Entire families can be affected. Many times working with the child or teen alone isn't enough because they are part of a larger system--the family. As a result, we provide individual services to children, tweens, and teens in conjunction with their parents, and when appropriate the entire family. We enjoy helping young clients address a variety of issues:

Toddlers and Preschoolers:

• Tantrums or excessive aggressiveness
• Unusual fearfulness or shyness
• Preschool or daycare adjustment
• Sleep disturbances or nightmares
• Developmental delays
• Adjustments to changes in the family (new sibling, separation/divorce)

Tweens and Teens:

• Depression and anxiety
• Shyness or social withdrawal
• Stress and anger management
• Problems at school/underachievement
• ADD/ADHD
• Bullying, relational aggression, and sexting
• Body image and disordered eating habits
• Adjustments to changes in the family (new sibling, separation/divorce)
• Poor study habits and organizational skills
