Together, we’ll help you develop healthy routines that nurture lasting emotional well-being for everyone in your household.
Child and teen therapy addresses various common mental health challenges, helping young individuals overcome obstacles like anxiety, depression, ADHD, and more to build a stronger emotional foundation.
Anxiety in kids and teens can show up as constant worry, trouble concentrating, restlessness, or even physical symptoms like headaches or stomachaches. While some anxiety is normal, excessive fear that interferes with daily life may signal a deeper issue.
Through anxiety therapy we help children understand what’s happening and teach practical tools like mindfulness, grounding techniques, and cognitive-behavioral (CBT) strategies to help them feel more in control and at ease.
Mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder affect a child’s ability to regulate emotions. Signs may include ongoing sadness, changes in sleep or appetite, or intense mood swings that disrupt daily life.
Through depression therapy, our team uses approaches like CBT and DBT to help kids and teens manage emotions, build stability, and feel more like themselves again.
Disruptive behavior disorders include conditions like Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). These disorders can lead to challenges with focus, impulse control, and ongoing patterns of defiance or hostility that affect home, school, and social life.
Treatment often involves behavioral therapy to help kids develop self-control and emotional regulation, and in some cases, stimulant medications may be used to manage symptoms more effectively.
Developmental disorders like autism affect how a child communicates, interacts socially, and behaves. Signs often include difficulty with social engagement, repetitive behaviors, and challenges in verbal or nonverbal communication.
With early intervention, Autism therapy can provide structured support through behavioral techniques and educational strategies that help children build important life skills and navigate daily challenges more confidently.
Experiencing trauma—such as physical, emotional, or sexual abuse—can lead to serious emotional and psychological challenges in children. These may show up as emotional numbness, flashbacks, or an ongoing sense of fear and hypervigilance.
Trauma therapists often use approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help children process what happened, regain a sense of safety, and begin to heal.
Eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating involve intense focus on food, weight, and body image, often leading to harmful behaviors that can threaten a child’s health. Signs may include sudden changes in eating habits, strict food rituals, obsession with weight, and physical symptoms like dizziness or hair loss.
Effective eating therapy typically includes a combination of psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and in some cases, medication—addressing both the emotional and physical aspects of recovery.
Family dynamics can deeply affect a child’s emotional well-being. Tension from conflict, poor communication, divorce, or major changes in the home may lead to withdrawal, defiance, or emotional outbursts.
Family therapy helps improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build stronger connections through guided conversations and shared goals, creating a more supportive home environment.
Social skills challenges can make it hard for kids to form friendships, read social cues, or feel comfortable in group settings. These difficulties may stem from autism, social anxiety, or developmental delays.
Therapy can help children build confidence through social skills training, play-based learning, and guided practice in a supportive environment.
Our child and adolescent therapy sessions are personalized to meet each young person’s needs in a safe, non-judgmental environment. A licensed therapist will use evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, and art therapy to help children express their emotions and develop healthy coping skills.
Parents can expect open communication with the adolescent therapist, ensuring a collaborative approach that supports their child’s emotional growth and overall well-being. Ready to get started? Schedule your first session today.
Recognizing when children or young adults need extra support is crucial for addressing emotional or behavioral challenges early. While every child experiences ups and downs, persistent struggles may indicate the need for professional guidance:
Children can benefit from therapy at any age, from preschool through the teenage years. If you’ve noticed your child is constantly worrying, changing their behavior, having trouble at school, or struggling to cope with a major transition, therapy may be the right choice.
The terms are often used interchangeably. Both provide mental health support for adolescents, but training and licenses can differ (for example, LPC, LAC, LCSW, LMFT, or Psychologist).
Look for someone who specializes in child and adolescent care and uses evidence-based approaches based on your child’s specific challenges. Schedule a consultation to ask about their experience and observe how they interact with your child—their comfort is key.
Most sessions are 45–50 minutes. For younger children or family check-ins, your therapist may recommend shorter or occasional longer meetings to keep young patients engaged.
The best type of therapy depends on your child’s unique needs. Common approaches include play therapy, art therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Your therapist will create a personalized treatment plan to help your child feel comfortable while developing healthy coping skills.
Costs vary depending on the therapist’s credentials and whether your insurance covers sessions. While See You Through It is out-of-network, we can provide a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
