Child Therapy
Being a kid is hard. Everything is happening for the first time. Other people are in charge of many decisions. Things are new and often confusing.
At Summit, we are committed to providing excellent counseling services to clients as young as three years old.
Helping children requires a different skill-set than helping adults. We have counselors trained in kid-centered strategies and are proud to offer these services to you.
Why Seek Counseling For Your Child?
Our therapists can help your child learn to understand emotions, relationships, and behaviors in healthy ways.
Families often begin therapy with us to learn how to help their children manage these challenges.
We help children with any of the following concerns and more
- Trauma
- Depression
- Anxiety and Panic Attacks
- Grief
- Social Skills
- Behavioral Concerns
- Divorce/Family Adjustments
- Seperation Anxiety
How We Can Help
We help children learn to identify and talk about emotions.
We begin by working with you and your child to build a connection, assessing current problems, and developing strategies to practice in session and at home.
Often this involves helping your child learn to recognize and more accurately label emotions happening in their bodies. Giving children this awareness opens them up to be able to clearly help you understand what they need.
To help your child feel more steady and confident, our counselors have pursued training in the following therapeutic modalities:
- Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Play Therapy
- Sandtray Therapy
- Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
