At Image and Likeness Counseling, we know that children face unique challenges as they grow. Luckily, tailored help is available. Therapy for children provides a safe and supportive environment where children and adolescents can learn how to better understand and manage their emotions, behaviors, and relationships. With the help of a skilled child therapist from Image and Likeness, families in Maitland, Florida, and surrounding areas can discover effective strategies to nurture resilience and healing.
Common Mental Health Struggles in Children
Children struggle with a wide range of emotional and behavioral concerns that affect their daily lives and family dynamics, and therapy must be adjusted accordingly. Some of the most common issues addressed in child and adolescent therapy include:
- Anxiety, worries, and fears that interfere with school or social life
- Depression and low self-esteem that impact mood and motivation
- Behavioral challenges such as anger, defiance, or difficulty following rules
- Family changes including divorce, loss, or blended family adjustments
- Trauma or bullying experiences that create lasting stress
- Social difficulties, including trouble making or keeping friends
Sessions are adapted to meet a client’s developmental needs. Thus, therapy for children may look different from therapy for adults. A child therapist may use play therapy or other creative therapies to provide nonverbal outlets for thoughts and emotions. Additionally, family therapy may be used to give the therapist insight into early childhood and home life.
