Tender Hearts Child Therapy Center

When a child comes to our office for Child Counseling Services, he or she is assessed to identify the best therapeutic approach to meet his or her needs. Our Child Counselors utilize Evidence-Based Treatments for presenting problems whenever possible. Presenting problems are also generally best treated using a combination of Individual Counseling and Family Counseling techniques.

The benefits of child counseling often impact others in the family, including parents and siblings. For example, child counseling can reduce family stress by enhancing family communication, providing new perspectives on a child's behavior or ideas about how to handle difficult child behaviors. Taking your child to a Child Counselor can help you feel more supported as a parent as well.

Families learn better communication and relationship skills to strengthen child-parent bonds. The length of family counseling varies greatly, depending on the problem and you and your child's participation and involvement. It can range from as short as several weeks to several months or longer in some cases.
