Good Therapy San Diego uses a wide variety of techniques and methods in order to help children, adolescents and teens who are experiencing difficulties with their emotions or behaviors. For children and adolescents, playing, drawing, building, and pretending, as well as talking, are important ways of sharing feelings and resolving problems in therapy. Child/ Teen therapy helps children in a variety of ways. They receive emotional support, resolve conflicts with people, understand feelings and problems, and try out new solutions to old problems. On the flip side, child and teen therapy helps parents! Parents will receive invaluable guidance in support of this very difficult and ridiculously important job they did not get a manual for.

Our San Diego Therapists/ Counselors will use a variety of techniques and approaches tailored to the child's age, developmental level, and individual needs. Play therapy, art therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and family therapy are some common modalities used in child therapy.
Issues that may be addressed in child therapy include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, behavioral problems, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, family conflicts, and adjustment difficulties related to life changes such as divorce, relocation, or school transitions.
Effective child therapy involves collaboration with parents or caregivers to support the child's progress outside of therapy sessions. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship and creating a safe space for expression are key components of successful child therapy.
