Challenges Addressed in Child and Teen Therapy
Philadelphia’s diverse communities and urban demands bring unique challenges for kids and teens, including the mental health, emotional, and behavioral difficulties that young people face. Our children’s and teen therapists specialize in addressing mental health issues and providing comprehensive behavioral health support. We are dedicated to helping kids and teens struggle less with these challenges.
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression are common in young people, often bringing difficult feelings such as sadness, self-doubt, and low mood. We use CBT to help kids and teens manage worries and build emotional resilience, especially when they feel overwhelmed, and to support healthy self-esteem.
Behavioral Issues and ADHD
From tantrums to defiance, we address behavioral concerns and ADHD with strategies like behavior modification and parent coaching, guiding families through the treatment process tailored to Philly families. We emphasize the importance of early intervention in addressing these challenges. Our goal is to help children overcome obstacles and reach their full potential.
Trauma and Grief
Trauma or loss can deeply affect kids and teens, making it essential to heal from these experiences. Our therapists use trauma-focused CBT and play therapy to support healing, creating a safe and supportive environment for children and adolescents.
Other issues include autism spectrum disorders, school stress, and cultural identity challenges in communities like West Philly or Chinatown.
The therapy journey for children and teens recovering from trauma or grief involves ongoing support, guidance, and positive growth.
