Jacksonville, FL (West) Child and Adolescent Therapy

We tend to forget that childhood isn’t all fun and games until our own child or teen appears to be suffering. Fortunately, when your kid does suffer, there are professionals ready to step in and help. If you are in the Jacksonville, FL area and you’re looking for child therapy for your child, you have come to the right place. Thriveworks Counseling in Jacksonville, FL has child and teen therapists on staff. They can meet with your child as soon as today or tomorrow. All you have to do is call (904) 567-7203.

How Does Child Therapy Work?

Child therapy is a specific type of counseling that is meant to help kids, teens, and adolescents. Child psychologists, counselors, and therapists can help these young minds better manage mental illnesses, cope with trauma, process their thoughts and emotions, and so much more. Believe it or not, the challenges these young people face often mirror those we face in adulthood. The difference is they are not nearly as prepared to deal with them. That’s where child counseling can make a huge difference—child therapists know how these young minds work and they can help them better understand the problem in front of them.

To summarize, child counselors are mental health providers who possess skills, training, and experience specific to helping children and teens. The child counselors and therapists at Thriveworks Counseling in Jacksonville, FL are caring, licensed professionals who want to help your child live better. These individuals can prove extremely valuable, as they will provide a nonjudgmental space for exploring one’s thoughts and feelings.

Should My Child Work with a Child Therapist?

As we already briefly touched on, kids are confronted with challenges similar to those we experience as adults. They face difficult feelings they don’t quite understand; they’re forced to adapt in uncertain or uncomfortable circumstances; they struggle in their relationships; and on and on. If you notice that your child is suffering or struggling with a specific obstacle, consider setting them up with a child counselor. Here are a few signs to look out for that might signify a problem:

  • They display signs of a mental illness, such as depression
  • They express a lack of interest in going to school
  • They are exposed to a traumatic event
  • They’re struggling to adapt amid a major life change
  • They exhibit signs of a learning disorder
  • They engage in rebellious behavior

Jessica Gort is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had. She’s not only met my needs and expectations, she goes above and beyond that. When I first met with Jessica i was newly sober and recently lost my father, I was struggling and had just ended a professional relationship with a prior therapist that couldn’t help me with what I needed at that time. I felt lost and was losing hope until I met her. I expressed my concerns with Jessica and she did everything she could to help me in the ways that I needed, to keep my sobriety and mental health intact during my grieving process. If I could rate her 10 stars I would. She’s amazing. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed working with Erin. She has my best interest at heart which is very important to me. I love how attentive and empathic Erin is towards my needs, and I am close to meeting my therapeutic goals. I have learned that life is a journey, and we should work on improving ourselves daily. I would most definitely recommend Erin to anyone who may need therapy, and I would work with her again. Thank you, Erin
