Children can benefit from therapy in many ways. Children do suffer with depression, anxiety, and a variety of emotional/behavioral problems. Children are never too young for therapy. Much can be learned about infants, toddlers, and young children through observation, play therapy, and working with the caregivers. A professional, trained in working with families, is the right person to consult, if you are having difficulties with your child. I work with children ages 0-18. I have special training for children, ages 0-3. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages. Children are a product of their gene pool, as well as, their environment. Children may not be able to verbalize their fears, worry, and sadness. Bringing your child in for therapy can prevent long term problems that can potentially plague him/her for life. A good therapist does not look for blame or shame in parents that are not perfect. None of us came with a manual. Instead we look to support, teach, and make your child/parent relationship a good one. I believe that we do the best that we can with what we have as parents, and that are intent is good
