Children and Adolescents most often are unable to identify their negative emotions effectively. Our counselors will first build rapport, then work with your child to start identifying and putting words to their unwanted emotions. Next, the counselor will help the child develop positive coping skill to better manage these difficult emotions; with the end goal of reducing or eliminating negative feelings.

If your child or teen is experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, having the opportunity to speak to a professional that isn’t in their immediate circle can be helpful and empower your child to take ownership of their feelings and behaviors, which allows them to develop needed self-soothing techniques and a sense of  security.
