Children & Teen Counseling

counseling therapy for children and teens

Childhood and adolescence are critical stages of human development, where growth happens rapidly, and young people begin to understand themselves and navigate the world around them. As adults, we recognize how challenging this journey can be.

At our Children’s Center, we provide counseling for youth ages 3-17, combining talk therapy and play therapy techniques. For younger children, play therapy offers a comfortable, natural way for them to express their feelings. With over a decade of experience working in community centers, early intervention programs, and schools at all levels, we are dedicated to supporting the mental health and emotional well-being of children and teens.

We also offer support to parents, helping you navigate the challenges of raising a child or teenager.

  1. Anxiety – Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, or school refusal.

  2. Depression – Persistent sadness, mood swings, or lack of interest in activities.

  3. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – Struggles with focus, impulsivity, or hyperactivity.
