Signs Your Child May Benefit from Therapy
Recognizing the signs that your child might need therapy can be challenging. Common indicators include:

• Difficulty making or keeping friends
• Problems with school performance or behavior
• Extreme fears or phobias
• Difficulty managing anger or frustration

How Does Children’s Therapy Work?

Therapy begins with an initial assessment, during which a therapist gets to know your child’s concerns, history, and environment. From there, therapy sessions are tailored to fit your child’s unique needs. Children often feel more comfortable with play or creative activities, and therapists use these tools to guide children through challenges while making them feel safe and understood.
