Child, Teen and Family Therapy

Therapy for children, teens, and family

Vital Minds Psychotherapy has established expertise in specialized therapy for children, teens, and family. Our aim is to improve your well-being, relationships and communication with one another.

This type of therapy is highly valued in specific situations like:

  • Parenting issues,
  • Marital problems,
  • Behavioral problems,
  • Substance abuse, or
  • Mental health disorders

Our licensed therapist will deliver custom programs depending on the people in the family and their existing circumstance.

Our child, teen, and family therapy services help immensely. We create a safe, engaging space where every family member’s voice can be heard and valued. We know that one person having a problem creates a problem for the whole system of the family, and our approach is all-inclusive in this sense.

Children are different, so is our approach

With children, we can use certain creative therapeutic techniques like

  • play therapy,
  • art expression, or
  • storytelling

These techniques help them process their thoughts and behaviors in natural contexts that are comfortable for them.

Our therapists are professionals in helping children feel safe to continue exploring their feelings. They learn healthy ways to express themselves.

Our play therapy rooms are equipped with suitable toys and art supplies. Such therapeutic tools work well to let children express and process their experiences through play and creative expressions.

A optimistic sense of empathy for teens

Teenagers are facing quite unique challenges today, from academic pressures and social media influence to finding their identity. We provide them with a safe environment where they can think, feel, and work through these concerns utilizing therapeutic coping strategies for self-esteem building.

We apply techniques like CBT and DBT so that the teenager gets better control on their feelings and regulate behaviors.

Our approach honours their growing independence while providing them with the guidance and support they need in order to navigate adolescence successfully. This way, we help them with problems like depression and anxiety.

We know that building trust with teenage clients takes time. Hence, we take the necessary time to establish a therapeutic relationship in which they feel respected and understood.

Family therapy

It brings all members together to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen bonds. We work with families to understand themselves better, break unhealthy patterns, and cultivate new ways of supporting one another

This way, they can cope better with situations like-

  • Major life transitions,
  • Dealing with behavioral challenges, or
  • Strengthen connections as a family.

Your family can be big, little, blended, single-parent, or extended. Our therapists have experience working with all kinds of family systems.
