Child, Adolescent, & Teen Mental Health Services

Discover how therapy services can help your child at each developmental stage. 

Participation in therapy can help children develop an understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns, strengthen their sense of self, increase confidence, and learn strategies to manage common challenges.

Working with children aged 0-5 is known as “Infant Mental Health” and involves evidence-based parental and family work to address the unique needs of our youngest clients. This work typically focuses on the parent-child relationship and shaping developmentally appropriate and healthy behaviors. 

As children age and their needs change, individual therapy can be a powerful tool to equip children as they become “big kids.” Our providers are skilled at using play-based strategies for children as needed, and watching for signs of readiness for a child to jump in and learn skills directly. 

As children enter middle school and high school, academic and social pressures can mount. Therapy can be an incredibly powerful place to gain insight, develop or recover self-esteem and learn ways to manage stress and conflict. 

Even the most resilient children can feel the weight of some of these life transitions and can benefit from the skills and insights developed in therapy. For children who may be struggling with extra hurdles, such as grief, trauma, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or learning challenges, these children can utilize therapy as a safe space to work through what may not be going well on their own.
