As a Child Therapist and mother, Heather is very aware of the specific challenges faced by today’s children. Not only do they all have their own needs, wants and personalities but growing up in today’s society adds additional concerns.
Challenges Faced by Today’s Children
These may be include:
- Negative peer relationships
- Bullying
- Struggles at school
- Poor body image / eating disorders
- Unhealthy sexual relationships
- ADHD
- Anger management
- Anxiety / depression
- Divorce / separation
- Substance use
- Excessive or inappropriate social media / screen time
As a parent these behaviors can be very concerning and we are often at a loss as to how best to help our children. Heather will work with your child to address their concerns using the most appropriate treatment modalities including CBT, somatic therapy, exposure therapy or expressive arts therapy. She can help you to gain a better understanding of your child’s behaviors and work with you both to create the relationship you want. Ultimately the goal is to create a loving, caring home environment for all of your family to enjoy. The sessions will last for 60 minutes and will be scheduled based upon your specific needs.
