Providence Child and Teen Counseling

As parents, we want to give our children the best possible start. We invest hours of time and energy into teaching them the tools they need to succeed and giving them the skills to excel. Sometimes, though, we are faced with a road block and need to seek outside assistance in keeping our children on track before a problem becomes too big. When the concern has to do with the mental wellbeing of your child, child counseling is a great resource to have on your side.

When faced with an issue, early intervention by a professional can be the difference between success and struggle. Seeking help at the onset of symptoms can help you and your child get solutions before your concern grows. The sooner a counselor can become involved, the better and quicker the outcome.

It’s not always easy to spot the early signs of an underlying mental health issue. Take into consideration the following symptoms before considering seeking out services from one of our child counselors:

  • Your child is withdrawn from their peers
  • Your child’s mood is low and they no longer expresses pleasure at the activities they used to enjoy
  • Your child often responds to frustrating situations with anger
  • Your child becomes very nervous or agitated when faced with a new or unknown situation
  • Your child has a hard time sitting and focussing on an activity, book or game

If you feel as though your child is expressing one or more of these symptoms or is progressing at a rate slower than their peers, a child counselor can help determine the root of the problem and can provide you with tips and ideas to put you on the path towards improvement. Sometimes a small change can make a big difference.

Every child deserves the best care and treatment to put them on the road to future success. The child counselors at our office are just as invested in the positive mental health of your child as you are. Call us today to book an appointment or to further discuss what we can do for you and your child.
