Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Therapy for child and adolescent issues, also called child therapy or teenage therapy, is a specialized form of counseling designed to satisfy children and adolescents' unique emotional, developmental, and behavioral requirements. Child and adolescent therapists are trained to work with young clients and provide a secure and supportive environment for them to express themselves, investigate their emotions, and overcome obstacles.
Child and adolescent therapy is highly individualized, with approaches varying according to the child's age, developmental level, and specific requirements. Therapists can employ techniques to engage juvenile clients and promote their emotional health and growth.
If you are concerned about the emotional health or behavior of a child or adolescent, a qualified child and adolescent therapist or counselor can provide valuable support and guidance for the child and his or her family.

Carol S Sepulveda
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW-S, Registered Play Therapist
Play is our first language. Just as adults use words to communicate, children use play. When playing, we express thoughts and feelings that might otherwise remain hidden. Play Therapy is a powerful tool for addressing cognitive, behavioral, and emotional challenges. Play is a natural process that builds trust, fosters acceptable behaviors, regulates emotions, reduces anxieties and elevates self-esteem.
