Childhood and adolescence is an important time for mental, emotional, and social development. I work with kids of all ages (starting as young as 4 years old!) to help process emotions and big changes. Sometimes children and teens have a hard time explaining how they feel and putting their thoughts into words. You might be wondering if your child could benefit from counseling. Here are some signs and behaviors you might see:
behavior issues at school or engaging in risky behaviors
constantly worrying
having trouble concentrating
picking at skin, hair, nails
being alone and isolating more than usual
increase in temper tantrums
experiencing bullying or difficulty with friends
recently experienced a loss (this can be tricky! Loss doesn’t always mean death. Loss can mean losing a friend, a pet, moving homes, moving schools, losing a relationship, and more.)
changes in eating or sleeping patterns
