Learning how to grow.

Growing up can be challenging, and children are constantly trying to understand new feelings and manage their emotions. Changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be difficult for them to process and control. Parents and caregivers can also become overwhelmed when trying to find the best ways to support their children.

Other challenges and stressors may also surface and disrupt the developmental path, which can impact your child’s performance at school, friendships, self-esteem, and attachment to you as their parent. Our therapists at the Awareness & Wellness Center (AWC) work with children to help them make sense of the changes in their minds, bodies, and lives. We use talk therapy, cognitive and behavioral techniques and modalities, play, and mindfulness, along with engaging the appropriate language for their stage of development.
