Benefits of Child Counseling

Our therapists can help your child develop greater communication and social interaction skills, which are essential for building friendships, resolving conflicts, and thriving in group settings.

Child counseling can gently address anxiety and helping your child to understand their fears — and develop coping strategies to manage worry, separation anxiety, or social fears as they age or enter school.

For children struggling with behavioral issues, counseling helps identify the root causes and provides strategies for positive behavior changes that can lead to better outcomes at home and school.

See What Our Clients are Saying

"I used to see a therapist at CenterLife Counseling years ago, and then they retired. After a break, I needed to find someone new, but I didn’t think I’d find another therapist that was just as good. Of course, I called CenterLife. They matched me up with a new therapist that's every bit as wonderful; I’ll be seeing him until he retires one day, too!" – G.S.
"I called around, looking to get tested for ADHD, and couldn’t get an appointment anywhere within 6 months. I actually cried on the phone when I called CenterLife, and they got me in the following week!" – Client
"After having issues with another clinic, and getting ghosted by a second one, I am so grateful to CenterLife for getting me in for testing so quickly. I am now on medication, have experienced significant improvements in my life, and am finally able to be present and in the moment in every aspect of my life. I can’t express enough, my gratitude to CenterLife, my regular therapist, and my testing therapist." – A.B.
"I followed my therapist from another clinic recently to CenterLife Counseling, I'd follow her anywhere she goes. The receptionist that helped me through registration was so kind and helpful, what a nice surprise after the last place." - Client
"Our child is non-binary and started seeing a therapist at CenterLife about 5 months ago. It's not easy being a teen today, and I am so relieved to have found a place where my kid feels safe and seen." - Client's mom
"When I was ready to take a break from therapy, it was a sad good-bye with my therapist, and an equally sad goodbye with Saunya at the front desk, she was always smiling and knew my name and made me feel so safe and welcome. I really appreciated her." – K.C.
