You know your children better than anyone. You know when you’re seeing changes that are not normal for your child. How do you know if your child needs counseling? Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

• Has my child’s personality changed suddenly?
• Is he often angry and disruptive at school or at home?
• Is she fearful?
• Is he being bullied at school or at home?
• Does she stay to herself, preferring not to be with others?
• Does he seem sad and withdrawn much of the time?
• Does she seem anxious?
• Are his grades dropping?

​These are signs that your child might need to talk to someone to cope with his or her feelings.

In today’s stressful world, children often encounter situations that they simply don’t know how to handle. For example, is your family dealing with a trauma? Have you lost a loved one recently? Did you or your spouse lose a job? Have you been forced from your home? These, and other stressful situations, can negatively affect your children and can make them fearful, anxious, and sad. We can help.
