Does this sound familiar? Your once outgoing and cheerful child has become withdrawn and anxious. The activities they used to love now seem to cause them distress. You’re noticing more frequent outbursts, or perhaps they’ve become unusually quiet. You feel a pang of helplessness as you see your child struggle with emotions they can’t yet fully understand or articulate. Or perhaps your child is having trouble making friends and is often left out during social activities at school. You’ve heard their frustration and sadness, but you’re not sure how to help them build the social skills they need to feel confident and connected.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Lancaster, PA 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 Lancaster 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.
