Therapy for Children and Teens
(Ages 6-17)

Growing up today comes with its own set of challenges. Therapy can provide children and teens with a safe, supportive space to process emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen relationships with peers and family members.

Young people may benefit from therapy to:

- Build self-esteem and confidence
- Develop independence and self-care skills
- Manage mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and impulse control
- Improve social skills and peer relationships
- Navigate family changes such as divorce, relocation, or conflict
- Learn emotional regulation and coping strategies
- Address disruptive or concerning behaviors
- Support adjustment to life transitions and developmental challenges

Our approach values collaboration with families. While individual therapy is child-centered, there may be times your provider will invite you to participate in sessions to support your child’s therapeutic goals, based on the child’s needs and preferences.
