CHILDREN

Therapy provides a safe and supportive environment where children can express their emotions, develop coping skills, and work through challenges. We use various therapeutic approaches to address emotional, behavioral, and psychological difficulties.

  • Trauma and Grief: Experiencing loss, abuse, or a major life change such as divorce or relocation.

  • Behavioral Issues: Aggression, defiance, or difficulty following rules.
