How do I know when my child needs therapy?

A good indication that your child may need another level of suppport is when their stress level leads to uncharacteristic behaviors or chronic concerns. Therapy should provide a safe place for your child to share his or her concerns and thoughts. The objective will be for your child to build self-esteem while learning new ways of coping with stress, managing negative thoughts, regulating their emotions and communicating with others.

Expectations and the First Session

You’re Not Alone.

We’re Here to Help!

Herrera Psychology has found that the most successful therapy outcomes occur when the struggling student discovers his or her cognitive and/or emotional strengths, allowing for increased self-awareness and self-advocacy. Therefore this goal will always be included in the student’s therapy plan.
