Child, Adolescent & Family Therapy: Compassionate Support for Growing Minds and Changing Families

Child, adolescent and family therapy offers compassionate therapeutic support for families navigating complex dynamics, emotional difficulties and important life transitions. We work with children, teenagers and their caregivers to address behavioral challenges, developmental concerns, parent–child relationship issues and family communication patterns that may be causing tension at home.

Using age-appropriate, family-centered and evidence-based approaches, we create a safe and supportive environment where every family member can express themselves and be understood. Through play-based interventions, talk therapy, psychoeducation and skills training, we aim to strengthen emotional resilience, improve communication and foster healthier patterns of interaction within the family system.

What Do We Work On in Child, Adolescent & Family Therapy?

• Behavioral difficulties (tantrums, aggression, defiance, oppositional behavior)
• Emotional challenges such as anxiety, sadness, fears and mood changes
• Developmental and social concerns (peer relationships, school adjustment, self-esteem)
• Parent–child conflicts and patterns of misunderstanding or emotional distance
• Sibling rivalry and tension between brothers and sisters
• Family communication problems, frequent arguments or emotional withdrawal
• Adjusting to life transitions such as divorce, separation, relocation, new siblings, loss and grief
• Impact of stress, trauma or chronic illness on children and the whole family

Our Therapeutic Approach

We tailor our methods to each child’s age, developmental level and unique personality. This may include:

• Play therapy and creative activities for younger children to express feelings symbolically
• Individual therapy for adolescents focusing on identity, emotions, peer relations and autonomy
• Parent guidance and coaching to support consistent, nurturing and effective parenting strategies
• Family sessions to strengthen connection, empathy and mutual understanding
• Teaching emotional regulation, problem-solving and communication skills
• Developing stress management and positive coping strategies for children, teens and parents

Supporting the Whole Family System

Children’s and adolescents’ difficulties rarely occur in isolation. For this reason, we work not only with the individual child, but with the family as a whole. Together, we explore how patterns of interaction have developed over time and how each member can contribute to a more supportive and harmonious home life.

Our aim is to help families:

• Build stronger emotional bonds and a sense of safety at home
• Improve listening skills and reduce criticism, blame and misunderstanding
• Encourage respectful boundaries and healthy autonomy for children and teens
• Create clear, consistent routines and expectations that reduce conflict
• Develop shared strategies for managing stress and big emotions together

A Safe, Respectful and Non-Judgmental Space

All sessions are conducted with confidentiality, respect and a warm, non-judgmental attitude. We recognize that parenting and family life can be deeply rewarding and also extremely challenging. Our role is not to blame, but to support and guide you in finding new ways of relating that work better for everyone.

If your child or teenager is struggling, or if your family is going through a difficult transition, child, adolescent and family therapy can help you restore balance, strengthen your relationships and create a home environment where everyone feels heard, valued and supported.
