Does your child struggle with school?

Is the thought of being in school causing so much anxiety that your child complains of nausea, head-aches, or other physical symptoms?

Does your child act out in the classroom?

Are teachers calling your home on a regular basis to complain about your child's behavior in school?

Is your child targeted by bullies?

Does he or she have trouble making or keeping friends?

Is your child's struggle with academic work or social skills affecting his or her self-esteem?

Does low self-confidence hold your child back from seeking new relationships or meeting academic goals?

Is your child facing difficult life circumstances (loss of a loved one, parents’ separation, etc)?

Is depression or anxiety making it virtually impossible for your child to function in school?

Fortunately, therapy can help alleviate the suffering of your child/teen, provide support to your family, and facilitate growth and development. Therapy can help your child to:

• understand what is bothering him/her.
• express his/her feelings in a safe, non-judgmental setting.
• build self-confidence and assertiveness.
• reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
• improve socialization skills.
• recognize and utilize strengths.
• develop new meaning of his/her world and experiences.
• negotiate difficult relationships with authority figures
