Child and Teen Therapy in Newton, MA—Counselors and Therapists at Thriveworks

Childhood is a crucial time in our lives. It’s when we begin to learn what we like and what we don’t; what we’re good at and what we’re bad at; what makes us happy and what doesn’t. It takes some time to figure all of this stuff out, as we continue to grow through adolescence (and make mistakes along the way). And sometimes, it can get really tough—especially when additional stressors are involved, like school bullies or divorcing parents. This is where child therapy comes in.

The counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Newton who specialize in working with children and teens understand how these young, developing minds function. This enables them to succeed in helping your child or teen work through their problems and live better.

Does My Child Need Counseling? How Does Child Therapy Work?

All of us have trouble sorting through, understanding, and managing our feelings at some point or another. This just goes to show how difficult this feat must be at times for children and teens. For those who need a little extra help, child therapy is the solution. Here are just a few challenges a child or teen counselor can help their clients work through:

· Settling in to a new town

· Making friends at a new school

· Coping with the loss of a loved one

· Adapting after their parents’ divorce

· Understanding and managing mental illness

· Healing from abuse or bullying

A child counselor has many important roles; one of which is to help your child or teen confront the given challenge and go on to live a happier life. Additionally, these professionals can assess your child for any problematic behaviors and will work with them to implement healthy changes.
