Affirming Support for Struggling Kids.
Today, it’s harder than ever to be a kid. And it’s not easy for parents & guardians to know how to best support your struggling child or teen. Sometimes, working with a mental health professional (who isn’t part of the family dynamic) is the best answer to help kids open up and work through difficulties, which is key to identifying and effectively addressing the issues.
Child & Adolescent psychotherapy is a process where an individual minor client meets with a specially-trained therapist in a series of safe, affirming, and confidential sessions. The therapist will also communicate directly with parents to ensure that your child is receiving the best care possible.
Children & Adolescent Psychotherapy can help with:
- Diagnosing / addressing a mental health disorder
- Processing loss, grief or trauma
- Finding affirming support for issues surrounding sexuality, sexual orientation, gender identity & expression
- Resolving defiance, anger or behavioral issues
- Navigating stressors such as school, social media, bullying, peer relationships, remote learning, family communication, etc.
IntraSpectrum Counseling unequivocally denounces the recent surge in anti-transgender rhetoric and the scapegoating of transgender people in the aftermath of recent shootings. Such rhetoric is baseless and deeply harmful, fostering stigma, discrimination, and potential violence against an already marginalized community. We stand firmly with transgender and nonbinary individuals, and reaffirm our commitment to providing affirming, compassionate, and inclusive care. We urge community leaders, media outlets, and the public to reject misinformation and prejudice, and to work collectively toward equity, dignity, and justice for all people.
