Every child experiences up and downs as they face new situations, more academic and social demands, changes in the family structure and search for their own personal identity. Just as adults do, children respond differently to changes that life brings their way. Sometimes these changes in mood and behavior come and go, but other times children and teens may experience disruption in their daily functioning. This is when it is a good idea for
children and
teens to meet with a
therapist – when the behavior can be worked with and positive changes can be made. Psychotherapy provides children a safe space to process the necessary emotions so that they can move forward and live happy, productive lives – and so they can enjoy being a kid again.
