Children & Adolescents

Children and adolescents are young minds that are growing - building social skills and emotional intelligence.  However, sometimes as they grow they develop unhealthy habits, difficulty managing emotions or develop difficult behaviors. We teach coping skills to adolescents and children so they may handle stressors, modify their behaviors, and make positive change.​

​

We utilize play therapy with our younger children and pre-teens. Through this manner, we are able to engage, interact and teach in ways that their minds could better grasp the skills we are teaching.

 

ATH also has group sessions from age 4 to 15 years old. This is a great way for the children to generalize and demonstrate the skills they are learning in an individual setting to a group setting where they are supported by qualified staff. 

​

Some common reasons you may seek out therapeutic help for your child include:

• developmental issues

• cognitive delays

• learning disabilities

• ADHD

• mood dysregulation

• mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, bi-polar etc.

• autism

• behavioral difficulties

• trauma

• bullying

• birth or death in the family

• abuse

• intimate partner violence

• poverty or homelessness

• disasters

• divorce
