Signs your child needs help…
Persistent sadness or withdrawal…
Is your child consistently unhappy, disinterested in previously enjoyed activities, or withdrawing from friends and family?
Behavioral changes…
Have you noticed sudden shifts, such as increased irritability, anger outbursts, or mood swings?
Social difficulties…
Does your child struggle with making or keeping friends… or seem overly shy or anxious around others?
Excessive worry or anxiety…
Are there signs of undue fear regarding daily activities, nightmares, or physical symptoms like stomachaches or headaches that stem from stress?
Declining academic performance…
Are your child’s grades dropping… or are they having trouble concentrating?
Trauma or loss…
If your child has experienced a significant loss, trauma, or major life change (like divorce or moving), they may need support to process their feelings.
Emotional dysregulation…
If your child struggles to manage their emotions and experiences frequent extreme moods, therapy can provide coping strategies.
Poor self-esteem…
If your child frequently expresses feelings of worthlessness, engages in self-criticism, or has a negative self-image, therapy can be beneficial.
Professional support is here.
If you see your child struggling, it’s important to be proactive and get help to secure their future well-being and success.
Embarking on therapy is a significant step for both you and your child. The mere mention of “therapy” can evoke a range of emotions.
Many parents feel ashamed or guilty, feeling like their child’s struggles are their fault.
Or they ask themselves difficult questions like, “What’s wrong with my child?”
As a fellow parent, I understand your concerns.
You might be wondering if your child is too young for therapy… or whether you’ll be able to fit therapy into your busy schedule.
I’m raising two toddlers of my own, so I get it!
Parenting is an incredibly demanding job. With so much already on your plate, the thought of adding therapy to the mix can be overwhelming. That’s why it’s so often relegated to the bottom of the to-do list.
Let’s make life better for everyone.
We’ll start with an initial consultation. This is a personal meeting with you to understand your child’s needs and address any concerns you may have.
We’ll then do an evaluation to identify what’s going on. This is a one-on-one session with your child where we’ll build rapport with them and assess their emotional and psychological well-being. Identifying whether your child could benefit from therapy can be a complex task, but it’s what we do at From the Ashes Counseling.
If therapy is the right fit, we’ll sit down and develop goals to help your child and schedule regular sessions to work toward those goals.
We’re experts in listening and meeting a child where they are. We use a variety of approaches to give your child the right space to convey their thoughts, express their emotions, and work through their experiences.
Your child needs you.
You’ve come to the right place to get them help.
Your family’s participation, including siblings, is greatly encouraged in the therapeutic process to enhance communication skills and build stronger familial bonds.
Let’s work together to put your child on the right path.
