Child or Adolescent Issues
Kailyn Bobb
Psychologist, PsyD
Addressing child and adolescent issues involves a holistic and collaborative approach. Providing a supportive environment and open communication with parents, caregivers, and teachers is crucial. Therapeutic interventions, such as play therapy, art therapy, or family therapy, can help children and adolescents express their emotions and develop coping skills. Educational support and accommodations may be necessary to address any learning or behavioral challenges.
