Have you observed changes in the mood, behavior, eating, sleeping or overall attitude of your child/Teen? Noticeable changes, such as forgetfulness, not listening, crying, tantrums, weight loss, "bad" dreams, talking back, or being irritable, might indicate the need for counseling. Children and teens experience anxiety, depression, trauma, grief just like adults.
I utilize play therapy, sand play, art, and family therapy to help your child express his/her pain, and together, we find solutions. I can also help you strike a balance between parental expectations and teen independence.
