Mental Health Intervention can be of critical importance when problems arise during childhood and adolescence years.
Emotional disorders, depression, anxiety, excessive irritability, frustration, and anger …all of which can lead to a manifestation of behavioral problems with overwhelming effects on academic, social, and daily family life.
Therapy can help children, adolescents, and their families understand and resolve problems, change behaviors, address moods and emotional issues. At times a combination of different psychotherapy approaches may be helpful.

What are Child Behavior Problems?
Many disorders are diagnosed during childhood. In addition to the distress and impaired functioning experienced by adults, children are at particular risk of developing comorbid disorders during critical periods of development. Many aspects of behavior, including effective social skills, organizational skills, self-schema, and body image are largely established at early ages of development.
Therefore, it is of great importance that accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment occur as soon as possible. In addition, it is always important to ensure that parents and other family members are involved as they often experience anxiety and other aversive experiences out of their concern for the behaviorally challenged child.

Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We live in a complicated society and being a child or adolescent (and being a parent) can be hard. Many people have unresolved issues from their childhood or adolescence. Whatever the case for you, we will work together to address the issues. There is a lot parents can do at home with their children. You know your child best and I know what helps a lot of families; with this team approach you can expect positive results. I also give children a safe, comforting place to process their concerns and emotions. Skill-building is included when needed to help kids learn to manage stress and anger, and have better relationships with others.
