Problems with school or peers

Many children and adolescents struggle at school, regardless of their age or intelligence. Whether they feel like they don’t “fit in,” tend to stress about exams and homework, or avoid schoolwork altogether, there are ways to help your child adjust and identify their strengths so they can have a bright future. We commonly see children and teens who need help with:

  • Declining school performance

  • Managing ADHD

  • Fights over grades and homework

  • Dealing with bullying

  • Social isolation

  • Relationship struggles with peers

  • Stress, anxiety and excessive worrying

  • Difficulty adjusting to a new environment

  • Learning social skills

  • Assertiveness training

  • Building self-esteem

Difficulty at home

Many of the common struggles children and adolescents experience at home are out of your control or unavoidable. However, we can help your family as you adjust to new ways of interacting and living. Common difficulties for children and teens at home include:

  • Adjusting to divorce or separation

  • Dealing with blended family issues

  • Adapting to a change in school or environment

  • Reducing power struggles

  • Working through family conflict

  • Handling the birth of a sibling or adoption

  • Managing change as a result of illness

  • Healing after child abuse (emotional, sexual, physical, neglect)

  • Healing from grief or loss
