Schooling can be a tumultuous time for children and adolescents as they develop as individuals while growing their intellect, social skills, and peer interactions. Children and adolescents may run into various problems in school, including learning disabilities, bullying, anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationships, drugs, and alcohol. When parents feel their child is struggling, they may choose to have them engage in counseling.
Available Treatment Options
Counseling interventions for school issues vary. Therapists work with children, parents, and other health professionals to determine an individual treatment plan. The plan may also include speech-language therapy or skills training for cognitive disabilities or neurodiversity, substance use treatment for drug and alcohol problems, or cognitive and behavioral interventions for anxiety, depression, or peer issues.

Counseling has varied meaning and is a personal and individual process between a therapist and client. I don't list treatment orientation or theories here as my philosophy has always been, "All people need to be listened to and supported. No two people present with the same issues and deserve unconditional positive regard." Our society, at times, loses sight to the importance of encouragement a...

I help individuals--adults, adolescents, couples, and their families--listen to themselves, express themselves, and make sense (and nonsense) of their wishes and their fears. This takes the form of an extended conversation, and includes the many features of such a conversation: interest, frankness, quiet, play, closeness, awkwardness, expressiveness, distance. Often, the work goes hand-in-hand...
