Children & Teen Sessions 

​

Introduction

​

Adolescence and childhood are critical developmental periods often accompanied by a range of emotional and behavioral challenges. Our counseling services for adolescents and children are designed to address issues such as troubled behavior, depression, bullying, anxiety, academic difficulties, video game obsession, eating disorders and other emotional health concerns. We provide a safe, supportive environment where young individuals can explore their feelings, develop coping strategies, build self-esteem and work towards a healthier and happier life.

 

Rebellious Behavior

 

Troubled behavior in children and adolescents can manifest in various ways, including aggression, defiance, and difficulty following rules. Our counselors work closely with young individuals and their families to identify the underlying causes of these behaviors and develop effective intervention strategies. Techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and behavior modification are employed to help children learn appropriate ways to express their emotions and improve their behavior.

 

Depression

 

Depression in children and adolescents can be particularly challenging to identify and address. Our counseling services focus on creating a supportive environment where young individuals can openly discuss their feelings. Through evidence-based therapies such as CBT and Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), we help them understand and manage their depression, develop healthier thought patterns, and improve their overall mood and functioning.

 

Bullying

 

Bullying can have severe and lasting impacts on a child's emotional well-being. Our counselors provide a safe space for victims of bullying to share their experiences and feelings. We offer strategies to build self-esteem, develop assertiveness, and foster resilience. Additionally, we work with schools and parents to create supportive environments that prevent bullying and promote positive peer interactions.

 

Anxiety

 

Anxiety disorders are common among children and adolescents and can significantly interfere with their daily lives. Our counseling services aim to help young individuals identify the sources of their anxiety and develop effective coping mechanisms. Techniques such as mindfulness, relaxation training, and CBT are used to reduce anxiety symptoms and empower children to face their fears with confidence.

 

Trouble in School

 

Academic difficulties can stem from various sources, including learning disabilities, attention deficits, and emotional challenges. Our counselors collaborate with schools, parents, and the children themselves to identify the root causes of their academic struggles. We provide personalized strategies to improve study habits, enhance focus and organization, and foster a positive attitude towards learning.

 

Video Game or Social Media Obsession

 

Excessive video game use can lead to various negative outcomes, including social isolation, poor academic performance, and disrupted sleep patterns. Our counseling services help children and adolescents develop a healthier relationship with technology. We work on setting boundaries, encouraging alternative activities, and addressing any underlying emotional issues contributing to their video game obsession.

 

Body Image Disorder

 

Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder can have serious physical and emotional consequences. Our counselors provide specialized support for young individuals struggling with these issues. Through a combination of individual therapy, family therapy, and nutritional counseling, we aim to promote healthy eating habits, improve body image, and address the psychological factors underlying the eating disorder.

 

Comprehensive Approach

 

Our approach to counseling services for adolescents and children is comprehensive and holistic. We recognize the importance of involving families in the therapeutic process and offer family counseling to address relational dynamics and foster a supportive home environment. Additionally, we collaborate with schools, medical professionals, and other relevant parties to ensure a coordinated and effective approach to each child's care.
