Child Therapy in Reston, VA—Fairfax Child and Adolescent Therapy/Counseling

Just like adults, children and adolescents can experience intense emotions as they get older or when stressful or traumatic events occur in their lives. For instance, it is common for children to feel anxious about school or friendships, and teens can have periods of depression after a death in the family. Mental disorders can cause ongoing, severe symptoms that affect how a child feels, thinks, acts and handles daily routines, such as attending school, sleeping or eating. It is crucial to know the signs and seek help.

Many times, it can be confusing to know whether your child is experiencing pain or is going through a normal stage. When a child who usually excels in school begins to get failing grades, finds they can’t fall asleep or stay asleep, is angry or irritable, it may be a good idea to seek therapy for them. Thriveworks in Reston, VA Child and Adolescent Therapy/Counseling offers the expertise and knowledge of therapists and counselors that are professionally licensed and have years of experience in the field. Reach out today for help.

Reasons to Seek Child and Adolescent Therapy/Counseling

It can be tough to tell if troubling behavior in a child is just a normal part of growing up or a problem that should be discussed with a therapist or psychologist. If signs and symptoms last weeks or months or if issues interfere with the child’s daily life at home, at school and with friends, it is prudent to contact a therapist.

Your child or adolescent may need the help of a therapist if they show the following signs:

  • Often is anxious and worried.
  • Has frequent tantrums or is intensely irritable much of the time.
  • Is in constant motion and can’t sit quietly for any length of time.
  • Has trouble sleeping, including frequent nightmares.
  • Fear of gaining weight; exercises, diets obsessively.
  • Has low or no energy.
  • Has spells of intense, inexhaustible activity.
  • Harms himself, such as cutting or burning the skin.
  • Engages in risky, destructive behavior.
  • Has thoughts of suicide.
  • Thinks his mind is controlled or out of control, hears voices.

Michael was super in working with my wife, me and sometimes our son. He is a good listener, offers suggestions but in the end, we had to make our own decisions. It was good to bounce ideas off him and his manner makes one feel comforted after discussing issues with him. He also responded to my emails and emergency phone calls.
