Empowering our youth.
Specialized treatment for your child’s mental health.
As your children grow, they will experience changes in their behavior, emotions, and thinking patterns. There are predictable ranges of cognitive, emotional, and social growth according to the age of a child and kids will experience shifts in their thinking, mood, and behavioral patterns as they mature. During these periods of growth, it can be difficult for families to know when a change reflects the normal challenges in child development or signs and symptoms of something more significant that may interfere with their child/teen’s happiness and functioning within the family, at school, or with social connections.
During this stage, it is vitally important that your child or adolescent can:
Determine the stressors and what causes them
Identify when they are stressed and know when to ask for help
Be able to express their emotions and thoughts
If a parent, family member, or a child/teen is questioning whether the problems they are facing fit within the range of normal development, we recommend they seek a consultation with one of our Rooted Counseling Services mental health clinicians who has specialized training and experience in working with families and pediatric populations.
At Rooted Counseling Services, we know every child is unique with their own set of experiences, and we provide an individualized treatment plan for your child’s care. We focus on supporting your child’s emotional, mental, and behavioral growth as they continue to develop and mature.
Our child and adolescent therapy and counseling services include initial assessments by qualified mental health professionals that can help define if there are areas that need attention and what type of services might be of assistance. The assessment is a getting-to-know-each-other period and a time when information is gathered about the child’s current problem or concern. Our psychotherapy treatment may involve individual therapy with your child or with your family. We work with your child to help them strengthen their communication and coping skills, identify their strengths, weaknesses, and growth areas, learn conflict resolution skills, and learn ways to thrive during stressful situations.
We provide a positive environment that promotes trust where your child, adolescent, or teen can feel safe and communicate without judgment.
