child therapy

Every child encounters various obstacles throughout their lifetime.  Your child may not have the necessary skills to navigate these obstacles effectively. Therapy offers a valuable opportunity for your child to learn and practice new skills to help manage these obstacles, as well as equip your child to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and emotions in helpful ways. 

Some reasons children come to Hope Fully for therapy:

• Stress Management

• Anxiety and/or depression

• Relationship/peer problems

• Anger and impulse issues

• Social Skills

• ADD/ADHD

• Trauma

• Grief/loss

In the U.S., 1 out of 5 children suffers from a mental health problem that can be diagnosed and treated.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that these disorders can strongly affect the children's interaction with home life, social life, and academic success. It is fortunate that therapy has come so far and that solutions exist to help our children better adjust to a difficult and diverse world.  

Child therapy is specialized in a way that is specific and effective for young minds.

Children have wild imaginations. They're curious about everything, they enjoy playing, and they often have attitudes that reflect these elements of childhood. These are the good and wonderful things about children, however, they are also what make children not really adept at grasping some adult therapy methods. In child counseling, we use a special set of skills and techniques designed to appeal to the perspective of young minds, help them feel safe, and set them up for success.

If you're worried that your child might be suffering from a mental health disorder, please contact one of our Licensed Counselors to set up a pre-diagnostic session.

If your child does suffer from a mental health disorder, is maybe just having a hard time, or perhaps has recently undergone a difficult life event, feel free to set up an appointment with any of our Licensed Counselors.
