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.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Adolescence is the first time a person is asked to assemble a self in real time, in public, with an audience that is merciless. The pressure is not imagined. The stakes are not small. What looks from the outside like defiance or withdrawal or apathy is almost always a person in the middle of figuring out which parts of themselves are allowed to exist. I work with adolescents not by trying to correct their behavior but by taking seriously the problem they are trying to solve.

Resouling Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
We have team members who enjoy working with adolescents and get their world with stress for academic and social acceptance. We understand the adolescent brain is still developing, incorporating caring conversations to challenge beliefs and increase self-esteem. Our therapists support adolescents navigating emotional intensity, identity development, academic pressure, and family or peer relationships. Therapy provides a steady, age-appropriate space to build emotional awareness, strengthen communication, and develop healthier coping skills.

Stephanie Larsen @ Healthy Minds Psychology Group
Psychologist, PsyD
Hi! Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey of caring more deeply for yourself! I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults primarily working to overcome their significant anxiety, fears that are holding them back, OCD, and panic symptoms. I have specialized training in exposure and response prevention (ERP) that tends to be the gold standard in treating OCD. I can offer support for the family and the child/ teen struggling through their anxiety. Ultimately, I strongly believe in building a close therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to explore and move past your anxious thought patterns, learn to support yourself, become more confident in your identity and purpose, and my goal is to help you achieve the goals you've set out to meet! My online clients are focused primarily on late preteens and older due to the difficulties in engagement with elementary aged youth (in person sessions offered in the Charleston, SC area). Feel free to reach out and see if we can be a good fit to help move you closer to your goals and relief!
