Parenting is hard.
Despite your best efforts your child may struggle emotionally and behaviorally. Perhaps your child is struggling to make friends, doesn’t like school, and feels misunderstood. This doesn't mean that your kid is bad and this doesn't mean that you are a failure as a parent – it just means that there is work to do.
I’m glad to be there to help parents and children do some of the heavy lifting it takes to get things headed back on the right track. You know that your child is worth it and so do I. Contact me now for a free consultation.
What Are Signs I Should Seek Therapy For My Child?
Children don’t always express their emotions the same way adults do. Sometimes it is hard to tell if your child is going through a “phase” or needs professional support. Some signs your child might benefit from therapy are:
-
Sleep issues – either sleeping too much, difficulty getting to sleep, or frequent waking during the night
-
A sudden change in behavior such as withdrawing from activities, becoming fearful or worried, or an increase in irritability
-
Tearfulness for no known reason or a sudden increase in crying
-
Irritability for little or no known reason
-
Aggression at home or school
-
Other adults are communicating that they have noticed a change in your child such as poor performance at school, and increase in anger or sadness, or withdrawing from others
-
A recent trauma or life change
-
Difficulty making or sustaining friendships

A Commitment To Inclusivity
Human identity is shaped by a rich tapestry of experiences, from race and background to sexuality, gender identity, religion, and ability. While no single therapist holds complete knowledge of every culture or human experience, this practice is deeply committed to understanding what makes each client unique. Continuous learning in cross-cultural counseling ensures a safe, welcoming environment where individuals from all walks of life can thrive.
You are invited to come as you are and be fully known throughout the therapeutic process.
