Counseling for Children in the East Bay Area, CA

Rebellious, stubborn, aggressive, emotional…

Are these the words that so many people use to describe your child?

Perhaps they’re struggling with mental health concerns or even conditions like autism spectrum disorder. If you’re worried about your child’s mental health, then it might be time to consult with only mental health professionals who specialize in such concerns.

Melt downs have become a common occurrence in your home, and when your child lashes out, it seems so extreme in comparison to the situation.

And it’s not just at home. It happens in the grocery store, at the park, a friend’s home, and at school!

OH MY!!

They don’t listen to their teachers.

They don’t get along with their peers, they’re not doing their schoolwork, they’re behind academically (even though you support them educationally on a daily basis and try to teach them coping skills).

Now your kid believes they’re “bad” and that no one likes them, a common sentiment among younger children with mental health conditions.

But you know they’re tender-hearted and full of potential.

You see your child and instantly feel guilty and want to cry.

The constant doubt plays in your head…

“What did I miss? Where did I go wrong? Was I too strict or not strict enough?”

You look at this child, who you love so much, and you’re at a loss for how to support them.

You’re at your wits end and ready to throw your hands in the air to surrender. You’ve tried everything. You’ve tried everything, even talk therapy.

If you dread the phone calls from the school, and homework time has become a nightmare, then you will benefit from mental health counseling for your child.

Parent child interaction therapy is also an effective approach, tailoring interventions based on parent-child dynamics.
