How Do I Know if My Child Needs Therapy?
Every child has tough days. Therapy becomes helpful when challenges start to stick or disrupt daily life. Consider an evaluation if you notice patterns such as:
- Big emotions that rarely settle such as meltdowns, intense worries, frequent irritability
- Ongoing sleep or appetite changes, headaches, or stomachaches without a medical cause
- Academic or attention struggles that aren’t improving with support at home or school
- Social withdrawal, bullying concerns, or conflicts that keep repeating
- Grief, family changes, or stressful events your child can’t seem to bounce back from
If you’re unsure, that’s okay. Start with a brief consultation. We’ll listen, offer next-step guidance, and help you decide whether therapy is the right fit right now. (Eagles Counseling offers free 15-minute consults for new clients.)
What Happens During Children’s Therapy?
We begin by getting to know your child: what they like, what stresses them, and what goals make sense for your family. Your therapist may use a mix of skill-building, coping strategies, play-based activities, and parent coaching so progress shows up between sessions, not just in the office.
Our clinicians draw from well-established methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR, and may incorporate creative approaches like music-informed interventions when helpful. You can choose in-person visits or secure video sessions to match your schedule.
What Conditions Can a Therapist for Children Treat?
Eagles Counseling supports kids and teens with a wide range of concerns, including:
- Anxiety and stress (fears, worry, school anxiety)
- Depression and mood changes
- Attention and behavior challenges (ADHD, ODD-type concerns)
- Autism-related social and emotional skills
- Trauma and difficult life events
- Anger and emotional regulation
- Grief and loss
- Family or peer conflict
Treatment plans are always tailored to your child’s strengths, developmental stage, and family values. Our team includes clinicians experienced across these areas and trained in CBT, DBT, EMDR, and related, research-supported tools.
Will My Child See a Counselor One-on-One?
Most children benefit from a primary one-on-one therapist who builds trust and teaches coping skills. Depending on goals, we may include:
- Parent sessions to share strategies you can use at home
- Family meetings to practice communication and problem-solving
- School collaboration (with your permission) to support consistency
Your therapist will recommend a rhythm, weekly at first is common, then taper as skills grow and symptoms ease.
