CHILDREN & FAMILY COUNSELING
Counseling for Children and Teens in Sacramento
Are you worried about your child?
Maybe you have read the books, watched the videos, and tried all the parenting techniques but still feel frustrated. You are tired of temper tantrums, phone calls from school, and falling grades. Maybe your child is socially awkward, shy, and lacks confidence. Perhaps you are feeling like a failed parent, unable to see the light.
Maybe your adolescent is showing defiance and resistance to authorities. You are afraid that he/she is drifting away; unable to prioritize school work, not interested in spending time with the family, and obsessed with social media. You are worried about the possible self-harming behaviors and isolation. You wish you could do something to improve the situation for your child.
You are beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:
-
Lack of happiness
-
Intrusive thoughts and persistent anxiety about your child
-
Conflict with your partner about parenting
-
Relationship issues with your child
There could be multiple reasons for your child’s struggles. Some of them could be traumatic life experiences, neurodivergence, persistent anxiety, and depression.
It may feel impossible now, but you can take pride in your child again. Your child/teen will thrive by learning tools and coping mechanisms.
