Individual Therapy for Children
Our child counseling in Bedford NH addresses mental and behavioral health services offered by therapists/counselors, psychiatrists, social workers, and psychologists/neuro-psychologists. We have counselors here who specialize solely in issues affecting children, which often originate from behavioral, social, gender identity, body image, and learning issues.
Child-focused individual therapy may include:
- Individual social-skills training
- Therapies that help children cope with anger, anxiety and depression
- Strategies to curb impulsivity, inattention and hyperactivity
- Emotional-regulation training
- Coping and self-management strategies for more independence
- Adjustment to life changes such as divorce or separation of parents
Parent / Guardian consultations may include:
- Techniques to help foster social skill development in your children
- Development of positive relationships and family culture with difficult children
- Family problem-solving, such as handling homework problems, managing conflict, and creating reward programs
- Management of particular behaviors as kids try to cope with divorce, blended families, etc.
- Individually-tailored parenting strategies
Your child could thrive in individual therapy. Psychotherapy shows evidence of improvement in children’s feelings in regards to self-efficacy and the ability to bolster social relationships. It can also help them function more efficiently. We mostly draw from cognitive-behavioral techniques when working with kids of all ages, often times blended with an integrative approach.
