Child & Adolescent Therapy

Childhood and adolescence are full of change and it’s common for children to experience emotional upheaval.

While the love and support of caregivers can provide a secure base as they navigate the world, sometimes therapy is needed to help kids adapt and learn the healthy coping skills to thrive.

We work with children and adolescents with a variety of behavioral, social, and emotional struggles.

Therapy can be an opportunity for children and adolescents to: 

  • Learn about themselves and support identity exploration, including gender and sexual identity 

  • Address symptoms of depression or anxiety

  • Increase self-esteem, confidence, and assertiveness

  • Develop a positive relationship with food and body image

  • Learn new, healthy coping skills and positive self-care strategies

  • Explore feelings about making positive decisions in relationships

  • Improve time management and organizational skills

  • Explore feelings about making positive decisions about drugs and alcohol

  • Understand the shifting roles and boundaries in their relationships with family members 

  • Improve communication skills in relationships

  • Address oppositional behaviors at home or school

At ECC, we’re committed to helping children and adolescents find the therapist and therapy method that best suits their needs. When you contact us, our intake team will review your intake form and follow up to book an appointment.
