Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Certified TFCBT, Certified Family Trauma Professional
Child or Adolescent Issues – Children face struggles with managing their emotions, often due to their limited perspective, their limited power to change their circumstances and limited experience with using their talents and skills to overcome problems. Therapy with children relies on more indirect approaches such as expressive therapy and EMDR. This engages their natural ability to adjust to circumstances without requiring them to use insight, which their developing brains have little to no capacity for.
Adolescents are developing the ability to see the bigger picture and experience a different world than that of their parents. They want and need to develop independence but often see their connections to family and other supports as hindering them from becoming strong in their own sense of self. If they have faced challenges before they were ready, they can be torn between attending to uncomfortable emotions and moving forward in their independence. Effective therapy with adolescents honors both the need to repair problems and the need to move forward toward adulthood.
