Emotional disturbance describes children and adolescents with mental health issues that cause troubling or abnormal emotional experiences. It could include anxiety, developmental disorders, cognitive impairment, depression, defiance, and other problematic behavior.
Available Treatment Options
Therapist interventions aim to reduce problematic behaviors, increase the ability to cope with stressful and triggering situations that lead to emotional disturbances, and develop tools and skills that boost self-confidence and stability.
Therapists Who Specialize in Helping Those Who Struggle With Emotional Disturbance
In over 25 years of working with individuals and couples, I have developed a very successful growth process.

Then we engage as appropriate, always staying...
I started an *online mental health practice*called Ray of Light Wellness in 2017.

I believe that behavior without context is meaningless. We blame ourselves too easily for things which go wrong whether they are within or beyond our control. Our natural guiding intuitions are overridden by years of social conditioning. In stressful situations, primitive reactions trigger and hijack our ability to make calm decisions. We overreact too often. My staff and I help you understand ...

After working with people in psychotherapy for 42 years I understand that every new person who comes to see me is in emotional crisis, usually frightened, and has mixed feelings about seeking help.
