Successful counseling with children must consider both family dynamics and relevant developmental issues.  

What might look like “bad behavior” may be the only way a child knows how to communicate his or her needs.

During the counseling process, we work to create a safe place that enables children to develop an understanding of big emotions and learn new healthy behaviors.

John Gottman writes, in Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child, “When parents offer their children empathy and help them to cope with negative feelings like anger, sadness, and fear, parents build bridges of loyalty and affection.”
