Children show signs of stress in temper tantrums, withdrawal or academic difficulties. Therapists use play as well as discussion and parental input to address problems. Adolescents often have difficulties that disrupt home and school life. Therapy helps teens identify their self-defeating behaviors and see new ways to accomplish their goals. Older people and their families may need help going through crises of widowhood, change in health status or other life circumstances.
Professionals can help identify options for services and care.
Group counseling offers empathy and support from others with similar concerns, under the guidance of professional leadership.
