child therapy (6-12yo)

Has your child been expressing sadness, anxiety about recent changes, anger, or feeling alone? Maybe you’ve been noticing some aggressive behaviors, difficulty sitting still and focusing, or challenges with interacting with peers at school. While all of these experiences can be a normal part of a child’s developmental phase, you don’t have to wait until a situation becomes worse before you begin to get support for your child. We can help to name what’s been difficult, support your child to navigate their overwhelming feelings, build needed coping skills for their current developmental stage, and serve as an advocate on your child’s behalf at home, school, and the community. Reach out for a free consultation with one of our child & teen therapists.

Your child may benefit from therapy if you notice the following:

  • Frequent tantrums, irritablity, low frustration tolerance

  • Sensory sensitivities that make it difficult to enjoy or engage in activities

  • Frequent big feelings, such as loneliness, sadness, fears, or anger.

  • Physical complaints without any known medical reasons

  • Aggressive behaviors, such as hitting, yelling, throwing objects, damaging objects, etc.

  • Disinterest in socializing with peers or difficulty developing meaningful friendships

  • obsessive/compulsive behavior, such as excessively cleaning hands, repeatedly checking that doors are locked, opening and closing doors, etc.

  • excessive worries, fears, and nightmares

  • grief and loss of a pet, family member, or loved one

  • Difficulty with focusing, hyperactivity, inattention
