Is your child having challenges that are impacting how they feel, act, or learn? Therapy may help your child develop better communication skills, improve self-esteem, decrease disruptive behaviors, and learn how to communicate and work through these challenges.
Therapy can help your child when they are experiencing issues or feelings such as:
- Family problems
- School problems
- Bullying
- Depression or sadness
- Anger
- Anxiety or worries
- Self-esteem
- Grief and trauma
- Coming Out
- Questioning their identities
There are many types of therapies that can be utilized when working with children such as Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, etc. Interventions used by a therapist can help a child recognize, identify, and verbalize feelings. Through a combination of talk and play, the child has an opportunity to better understand and manage their conflicts, feelings, and behavior.
Therapy is not an immediate solution. It is a process that takes time and with time can reduce symptoms and improve your child's overall functioning and well-being.
