It can be really difficult to be a young person with anxiety, it can be even more difficult watching your own child or loved one struggle.
Children, teens, and young adults struggling with anxiety and difficult life transitions know that it can feel overwhelming, stressful and may feel worried that no one will understand how they feel. This may affect friendships, relationships with family members, school and work experiences, and many other areas of life. Therapy can help decrease anxiety and worries by teaching new coping skills to better manage anxiety and stress. This can lead to feeling a greater sense of self control, happiness and well being.

I work primarily with children and adolescents.
Counseling provides people with an ability to increase their insight and perspective about themselves. It enables them with appropriate skills to navigate the world around them while caring for themselves. It allows people to learn how to regulate and express their thoughts and feelings in healthy ways. Once someone has the opportunity to process their experiences, they develop the self-efficacy needed to change unhealthy patterns.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Atlanta, GA provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Atlanta build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
