Supporting Your Child's Mental Well-Being, From Toddlers to Teens
It’s a powerful truth: at least 1 in 5 children and teens will grapple with mental health challenges. Mental health profoundly influences how our kids think, feel, and act, impacting everything from their friendships at school to their interactions at home. These struggles can stem from various sources, such as friendship troubles, big changes like a new sibling or moving, loss, everyday stress, or even medical conditions.
Every child, no matter their age, experiences tough emotions. Sometimes these feelings pass, but other times they can be more complex and stick around longer. Therapy offers a safe and constructive space for kids and families to explore these struggles, set goals, and work towards positive, lasting change.

The days can feel long, and the nights even longer, especially when you're navigating new phases. Each age and stage, from the "terrible twos" to the turbulent teen years, brings its own unique set of issues and hurdles.
These years of raising young children and teenagers can sometimes feel like the most exhausting and frustrating, and that's perfectly normal. There's no shame in reaching out to learn new ways to connect and engage with your kids. Supporting them through every tough and uncertain moment can be draining for you too. Remember, taking care of your children truly begins with taking care of yourself.
