Have you been thinking about children’s counseling?
As a Parent there is NOTHING more important to you then your children.
From the moment they were born your whole world changed. You changed.
You went from worrying about yourself to being completely consumed by this small person who was fully and completely dependent on you.
You do everything you can to protect them from all the bad in the world. You childproof outlets, put gates on doors and teach them who is and isn’t safe to talk to. You try to cover all the bases and make sure nothing bad can happen to them.
And now that you see them struggling, nothing hurts worse then the sense of powerlessness in being able to ‘fix’ THIS. You keep trying but nothing has worked.
Just like your child, each experience or struggle is unique. Sometimes the answers just don’t come easily and we can get lost in their unhappiness. Making the entire family out of rhythm.
It’s time to step back and accept help. At Angelus we have several therapists that focus primarily on working with children struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, and trauma. Their focus is on getting your child back a sense of happy & healthy, with the ability to be ‘just be a kid again’.
We will work hand in hand with you and your child to identify your goals for counseling and guide you through the children’s counseling process.
Call us Now at 724-654-9555 to discuss your child’s situation and if one of our therapists may be a good fit for you.
