Therapy for Children

Therapy for Children

edited-20079674_xlI specialize in healing young children suffering from anxiety, depression as well as PTSD/trauma related experiences.As a parent you might be seeing different behaviors and non-verbal expressions that do not seem right for your child. Over the years of working with children I have seen diverse symptoms.

 

 

 

 

These can include:

  • poor concentration and problems with school work
  • changes in sleep patterns or eating
  • conflicts with others, anger and crying
  • withdrawal from interesting activities
  • being hypersensitive and afraid to go places
  • physical complaints such as headaches or stomach aches

Children often think and interact differently than adults but their needs are just as important. My approaches and skills when working with children are used to address their developmental differences.
