Children & Family Therapy
Opportunities for families to improve the family system
Family therapy is a type of psychological counseling that opens opportunities for the family to identify family culture and patterns that may be creating distress in the family system.
Much like couples therapy, family therapy attempts to open communication, increase the ability of the family to navigate intense and uncomfortable emotions and improve communication to support healing and resolution for families.
Focused, age-appropriate therapy for young minds
Child therapy is a specific type of therapy that caters to children. Often time play therapy and other experiential models of treatment are applied to support the child with processing overwhelming emotions. Therapy is often directed toward distressing behavior and always involves active caregiver engagement.
Help & support for struggling teens & adolescents
Teens are struggling profoundly due to the inability to escape from the barrage of social media and unrealistic expectations. Life is so fast-paced and these demands are ever-present due to our increasing technology that teens have no space to simply exist and feel. They lack the necessary skills to slow down, breathe, explore, and recognize their emotions. They struggle to know who they are and recognize their value. Anxiety, depression, and suicide are at critical levels.
We can help and support your teens by creating self-understanding and awareness by teaching them invaluable skills such as:
- Emotion recognition and regulation
- Grounding skills
- Mindfulness
- Healthy communication
- Expressing positive needs & self-advocacy
This could help address such things as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Healing trauma
- Social-Emotional Learning
