Evenings and Weekend Appointments Available Online and In-Person
As a parent, it's deeply concerning and heart-wrenching to witness your child struggling with behavioral issues or enduring the pain of bullying or trauma. Every day, you worry about their well-being, both physically and emotionally. Seeing your child withdraw, become anxious, or exhibit challenging behaviors can leave you feeling helpless and desperate for a solution. Do you yearn for your child to feel safe, confident, and valued, but it seems like an uphill battle? Is the impact of bullying or behavioral issues on your child or teen’s self-esteem and overall happiness weighing heavily on your heart?
Are you filled with a mixture of fear, frustration, and determination to find the right support and intervention to help your child navigate these difficulties and emerge stronger and more resilient?
If you, or your child have had any of these thoughts before, you are not alone. Experiencing trauma, bullying, ADHD, difficulty in school, divorce, or a move can be an intensely disruptive and overwhelming ordeal that leaves both child and parents struggling with anxiety, burnout, depression, difficulty concentrating, anger and even hopelessness. You do not have to go through this alone. Our therapists are here to support you through this process and help you and your child or teen get back to living a life with more joy.
Compassionate and Comprehensive Approach to Child and Adolescent Therapy
At Flourish Mindset, we believe in providing a compassionate and comprehensive approach to child and adolescent therapy. Our holistic trauma-informed and attachment-informed therapy approach acknowledges the intricate interplay between a child's past experiences, current challenges, and their need for secure attachments. Through this integrative approach, we aim to create a safe and nurturing environment that fosters healing, growth, and the development of healthy coping strategies. Join us on a journey towards resilience, empowerment, and restored well-being for your child or adolescent.
Holistic Trauma-Informed Therapy:
Our trauma-informed therapy recognizes the significant impact that traumatic experiences can have on a child's life. By creating a safe and supportive space, our therapists help children and adolescents process their trauma in a way that promotes healing and recovery. We utilize evidence-based techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), play therapy, and mindfulness to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social effects of trauma. Our approach encourages the integration of traumatic experiences into a child's life story, allowing for personal growth and resilience.
Flourish Mindset’s Core Components of Child & Teen Therapy
Individualized Care: We recognize that each child or adolescent is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and experiences. Our therapy approach is tailored to meet their specific needs, ensuring that they receive personalized care and support.
Cultivating Resilience: Our therapists focus on empowering children and adolescents to develop resilience in the face of adversity. We work collaboratively to help them build essential life skills, emotional regulation techniques, and adaptive coping strategies that will support their ongoing growth and well-being.
Incorporating Creativity and Play: We embrace the natural language of children and adolescents, using creative and play-based interventions to facilitate self-expression, exploration, and healing. Through art, storytelling, and play therapy, we engage the child's imagination, fostering emotional release, and promoting self-discovery.
Family Involvement: We recognize the importance of family support in a child's therapeutic journey. We actively involve parents and caregivers in the treatment process, offering guidance, education, and strategies to support the child's progress and maintain positive changes outside of therapy sessions.
Healing & Healthy Development
Our holistic trauma-informed and attachment-informed approach provides a nurturing and empowering environment for children and adolescents to heal, grow, and thrive. Through the integration of evidence-based techniques, individualized care, and family involvement, we aim to help children develop resilience, restore healthy attachments, and embrace a brighter future. Together, let's embark on a transformative journey towards emotional well-being and optimal development for your child or adolescent.
Attachment-Informed Therapy
We understand the critical role that secure attachments play in a child's development. Our attachment-informed therapy focuses on strengthening the caregiver-child relationship and promoting healthy attachment patterns. By working closely with parents or caregivers, our therapists provide guidance and support in understanding the child's needs, creating a nurturing environment, and enhancing communication and bonding. This approach helps build a foundation of trust and emotional security, enabling the child to explore their experiences, express their emotions, and develop healthy coping mechanisms
