Behavioral IssuesActing out and other behavioral issues commonly occur when a child doesn't know how to adequately communicate what is happening in their inner world. We can help a child learn how to deal with their inner experience in healthier ways.

Grief and Loss
Experiencing loss at a young age can result in a child learning that the world is unsafe. It can create intense feelings of fear and sadness. We can help a child learn to process these emotions and find a better balance to how they view the world as they move forward after loss.

Trauma
When a child has experienced trauma, they learn to protect themselves by keeping people at a distance or they come to believe that they themselves are not valuable or worthy of respect. We can help a child learn what safe relationships look like and how to have self-confidence

School Problems
The pressure that exists for a child to perform academically and fit in socially at school can create myriad problems. By first identifying the root of failing grades, school refusal, peer relational problems, and more, we can more effectively address school problems and find a solution.

Post-Divorce Transitions
