Child Therapy / Adolescent Therapy – Child Counselors and Therapists in Rock Hill, SC

You’d do anything to help your child. There’s no height you wouldn’t climb, no depth you wouldn’t dive to help your child to be safe, healthy, and secure.  Adults often view children as being carefree and full of life, overlooking the reality that many children today are struggling with serious, and sometimes significant, mental health issues.

How Do I Know if My Child Needs Therapy?

As many as 20% of children today have an identifiable mental health issue.  Many of these issues can be addressed and supported through mental health counseling.  Unlike therapy for adults, counseling for children and adolescents provides targeted treatment options, combining traditional talk therapy with therapeutic play and age-appropriate coping skills.

Children and adolescents often exhibit signs that they are struggling with their emotional and mental health.  Some of these signs include:

• Constant and persistent feelings of sadness
• Loss of interest in activities
• Changes in eating and sleep patterns
• Thoughts of suicide
• Difficulty concentrating or keeping focus
• A decline is performance at school
• An increase in fearfulness, anxiety, or worry
• Difficulty falling or staying asleep
• Experiencing nightmares

If your child is experiencing any of these things, he or she may benefit from working with a child therapist.  (803) 368-6499

What Does a Child Therapist Do?

Child therapists work with children and their parents or caregivers to assess the mental health needs of a child and determine a treatment plan that targets specific needs of a child or adolescent.  A child therapist can help with improving behavior, developing coping skills, or strengthening a child’s confidence.

Child therapists are skilled in developing a specialized treatment plan to address a child’s specific mental health needs. Child and adolescent therapy works best when the people closest to the child are invested in supporting the child’s clinical treatment plan.
