Children are going through so much in terms of development- their brains are developing at a rapid pace. This is a wonderful time but it can also lead to large emotions, difficulty with separating, and other behavioral concerns. If your child would benefit from therapy it does not mean anything is wrong or as parents you have made mistakes. Child therapy can be a wonderful resource for children and parents alike to build resources, skills, and healthier connections.
Parents play an important role in treatment. While a lot of the healing takes place in the therapy room just as much takes place in the everyday environment. Our therapists work closely with parents to provide feedback and education based on child development and their observations based on the work together.
