We can help youth manage a wide range of anxieties, including: generalized worries and stress, obsessive and compulsive behaviors, concerns about peer rejection, difficulties with talking in specific situations, and fears of not being “perfect” and failing to meet expectations. We also help them with body-focused repetitive behaviors, such as hair pulling or skin picking. We can also help them manage their low mood, lack of energy, and disinterest in activities.

We team up with you, your child, and the school to identify strategies to maintain focus, improve executive functioning, and make learning fun. Additionally, we work with children and teens who struggle with emotion regulation and engage in impulsive and unsafe behaviors. We help your child develop appropriate ways to communicate their feelings, build their motivation to follow instructions from adults, and ensure they are recognized for their efforts, intelligence, and character.

We can help youth grow their understanding of their personal resiliency and strength in order to develop a sense of safety in the world and greater trust of others. We can help them identify the powerful steps they took to overcome distressing events and provide them with strategies to manage the fear, feelings, and behaviors that are triggered by past trauma.

We help parents identify parenting goals, navigate parenting differences, build assertive communication skills, address problematic behaviors effectively and empathetically, and improve the parent-child relationship. Additionally, if needed, we can further help parents explore personal issues and the impact it has on their parenting and focus on overcoming difficulties that may interfere with family life.
