Does My Child Need Therapy?
Therapy can be a valuable resource for your child or teen as they navigate growing up. Based on a child’s age, there are numerous factors that can influence behavior and reactions. It is sometimes hard to separate age appropriate issues such as sibling rivalry, peer and family relationships, college readiness, romantic interests, and hormones. However, if your child has experienced or is dealing with one of the following scenarios below, a consultation for therapy would be appropriate to maintain mental and behavioral health.
A Life-Changing Event
If your child has or is experiencing the death of a loved one (family, friends, pets), a divorce or subsequent step parent(s) or siblings, extreme family tension, a recent move or change in schools, the birth of a sibling, emotional, physical or sexual abuse, including bullying
Struggling/Disinterest in School & Activities
If your child is struggling in school, and/or if your child has become disinterested in previously enjoyable activities or wishes to stop participating in extracurricular activities, including a dis-interest in peer-relationships
Noticable Changes in Behavior
If your child has had a noticeable change in behaviors that has lasted for a month or more, and/or if these behaviors are unmanageable and creating stress at home, including if your child seems more sad or moody than normal
Excessive Worrying
If your child worries about their future, their family, their health or the world, and it seems excessive or are unable to be redirected
Coaching for Parents
Child and Family Therapy Center recognizes that children’s issues often involve people other than the child alone. Parents are affected, as well as siblings, and others in the home. We offer parent coaching and counseling services for parents, both individually or as a couple. We have found that parents are often struggling alongside their children and that coaching, guidance, and therapy can be very effective in helping them cope.
