Children & Teens

We help families with children of all ages, for a broad range of emotional, behavioral and developmental concerns. Anxiety, such as excessive worry, fears, avoidant behaviors is common as are mood-related symptoms such as persistent sadness, anger, depression, or irritability. Some kids and teens present with behavioral problems including defiance, aggression, and difficulty with attention or impulsivity. 

At the Family Therapy Institute, we believe it is important to include parents whenever possible. When we are working with children and teens because research has found better outcomes with parental participation.

All of our therapists work with teens.
