We are here for your child and family. We care.
Your child may be experiencing behaviors that are difficult to understand, emotions bigger than the situation, or learning problems affecting their engagement in school and home life. You may feel confused and overwhelmed thinking about how to support your child through these challenges to improve their quality of life. Your child may have asked to talk to a counselor about what they are feeling, or maybe their school counselor or pediatrician has suggested therapy to help address concerns about how the child is feeling or behaving or to help your family solve a problem.
Seeking out counseling for your child can be an essential step toward helping them overcome challenges, improve their lives, and continue to develop into healthy, flexible, and resilient human beings capable of amazing things.
