Child & Adolescent Issues
Compassionate & Caring Therapists
WHAT ARE CHILD & ADOLESCENT ISSUES?
The human brain develops at a rapid rate – especially in the first several years of life. Children and adolescents are constantly developing and changing, often passing through complex phases in their journey toward adulthood. For parents and caretakers, navigating childhood and adolescence can be a challenging experience.
In some cases, special issues arise among children and teens that parents find overwhelming. Left alone, these issues may worsen, leading to potentially serious consequences. But with child and adolescent therapy, parents and children can communicate their feelings and expectations with one another – facilitating the potential for change, positive growth, and stronger relationships.
Often, parents first notice issues with children and teens when their conduct or attitude becomes negative or falls short of expectations. Children may act out in opposition, refuse to eat, fall behind at school, stop communicating, self-injure or physically harm others, isolate themselves, or even run away from home. These problems – though serious – are often merely surface responses to underlying emotional or mental health issues.

As parents, you just want the best for your children. Let our therapists offer professional guidance.
