Children & Teens
Years of Expertise & Caring Support
As a parent or caregiver, it is very painful to see your child struggle. Sometimes you may intuitively know something “just isn’t right.” You may not be sure what is at the root of your child’s difficulties, but something about your child’s behavior has changed or concerns you.
Through individual therapy with your child or teen we can get to the root of what is causing the change in your child. We can also incorporate family therapy as needed.

- Have your child’s grades changed recently?
