Children and Adolescents

Child and Family Counseling Center offers solutions for children and adolescents as well. Whether your child is in pre-school or in college, therapy can provide essential help in dealing with minor to severe emotional and behavioral difficulties. Despite parents best intentions, children and families can be negatively impacted by difficult life circumstances. Additionally, children and teens may suffer from worry, overwhelming fears, insecurity, deep sadness, explosive anger and other internal conflicts. Many of these struggles can then lead to withdrawal and avoidance or acting out in defiant, impulsive, or uncooperative ways both at home, in school, and in other areas of life. Parents often struggle to know; Is this just NORMAL behavior, or is this a REAL problem? The therapists at CFCC have extensive experience working with children of all ages, including adolescents, using proven techniques to address these challenges. We work closely with parents, family physicians and teachers in developing a treatment plan that best suits the individual needs of the family. Our practical approaches take into account a child's age and maturity, with a focus on teaching them adaptive skills to apply to their difficulties, helping them to be more cooperative and content, happier, and better able to relate well with others.
