Counseling for children and teens
Including ADHD, autism, behavior, school and family concerns. Play therapy available.
Children and teenagers don’t always have the words for what they are feeling. It may come out as worry, anger, trouble at school or struggles at home. Many of our counselors work with children and adolescents, including those with ADHD, autism and other developmental differences.
For younger children we offer play therapy, which uses play as a natural way to express feelings and build skills. Parents are part of the process: we work with you on what is happening at home and at school.
Families often reach out about
- ADHD, autism and developmental differences
- anxiety, low mood or self-esteem
- anger, defiance or other behavior concerns
- school problems or bullying
- family changes, conflict, adoption or parenting challenges
