THEY ARE THE FUTURE: EXPERT COUNSELING FOR CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

There is nothing more precious than the life of a child.

An average of one in ten children and adolescents in this country experience some sort of mental health issue each year. Left untreated, poor mental health can affect a child or teen’s ability to learn, develop friendships, and engage with their family. It can even threaten their safety.

A WORLD OF POTENTIAL
IN EVERY CHILD

Although there is a world of potential in children, they are also faced with complex life issues (divorce, stress, expectations, drugs, violence, etc.) that are intertwined with the day-to-day fast-moving, high-pressure, ultra-modern, technological society we live in.

What happens is that they lose sight of their core values and internal moral structure.  They lose sight of who they are.  This disconnect leads to low self esteem which in turn leads to anxiety and feelings of inadequacy, depression, eating disorders or an array of different emotional hardships.

Therapy helps children regain their worth, develop vital problem-solving skills and find their north.  It guides parents in their journey to help their child.

At Coral Gables Counseling Center we are committed to your child’s well-being by facilitating the process of raising emotionally healthy children so they can lead happy resilient, and successful lives.  Let’s work together in attaining this goal.
