Does My Child Need Counseling?

The occasional tantrum or bad day is something you know how to handle. But when you’re lying awake at night wondering if something is “normal,” or you’re worried that something serious may be going on, checking in is a great idea.

Signs a Child May Need a Therapist

  • Sadness, tearfulness, or depression
  • Social withdrawal or isolation
  • Excessively angry outbursts or acting out
  • Decreased interest in activities they previously enjoyed
  • Drastic mood swings
  • Alcohol, drug, or substance abuse
  • Attention deficits (ADD/ADHD)
  • Sexual, physical, or emotional abuse
  • Speech, language, or other developmental delays
  • Family separation such as divorce in the family or high-conflict custody disputes
  • The death of a close family member, friend, or beloved pet
  • Eating disorders or drastic appetite changes
  • Irregular sleep, including insomnia or excessive sleepiness
  • Complaints of illness (such as headache, upset stomach, or not feeling well) even though a doctor finds nothing wrong

What If I Don’t Know What’s Wrong with My Child?

If you don’t know what’s wrong with your child, our specially trained therapists are here to help. We’ve encountered many cases where the parents were simply unaware of a situation in their child’s life, and the child was either too scared or too embarrassed to speak about it to their parents.

We can help you put a name to the problem, understand what it means, and work together to create a personalized care plan.
