My Practice at a Glance

Overview

Does my child need to see a counselor?

Learning about children’s mental health issues can increase your knowledge of how to help. Helping children to develop self-esteem through play, talk, and S.P.A.C.E. therapy can set the foundation for their adult years.

Children and teens build social skills and emotional intelligence as they grow. These things often lead to healthy, happy lives. But some kids have big or difficult emotions or behave in ways that disrupt their well-being. The teen years are sometimes difficult and can start a life of happiness or struggle depending on the learning.

  • Adoption and foster care issues
  • Anxiety
  • Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity (ADHD)
  • Blended family issues
  • Bullying
  • Gender and sexual identity

  • Disruptive mood dysregulation (DMDD): Disruptive mood dysregulation, which involves excessive irritability and frequent outbursts, can be diagnosed in children aged 6-18.
  • Divorce issues
  • Oppositional and defiant behavior (ODD): ODD is usually identified in childhood and may occur as early as one’s toddler years. Unaddressed, it can negatively impact a child’s performance in school as well as their friendships and social life.
  • Self-harm: Adolescents and young adults have the highest likelihood of engaging in self-harming behavior. It’s crucial to recognize indications of self-harm as the initial step in addressing the behavior and its underlying reasons.
  • Sibling issues
