Child & Adolescent Therapy
Children and teens experience stress, big emotions, and life challenges too — but they do not always have the words, coping skills, or emotional maturity to express what they are feeling.
Sometimes those struggles show up as anxiety, anger, withdrawal, meltdowns, school difficulties, behavior changes, or conflict at home. Other times, children may seem overwhelmed, emotionally sensitive, shut down, or simply “not themselves.”
At Encompass, we provide a supportive and compassionate space where children, adolescents, and families can feel heard, understood, and supported through life’s challenges.
We work with children and teens experiencing concerns such as:
Anxiety and excessive worry
ADHD and attention difficulties
Emotional regulation struggles
School-related stress
Social difficulties or bullying
Low self-esteem or confidence issues
Family changes, separation, or divorce
Grief and loss
Behavioral challenges
Trauma or stressful life experiences
Depression or mood changes
Neurodivergence and sensory-related concerns
Every child is different, which is why therapy is tailored to the individual child’s developmental level, personality, strengths, and needs. Our therapists work to create a safe and trusting environment where children and teens can build emotional awareness, coping skills, confidence, communication skills, and healthier ways of expressing themselves.
Depending on the child’s age and needs, therapy may include:
Talk therapy
CBT and coping skills
Mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies
Strengths-based support
Parent collaboration and guidance
Family support and communication work
Play-based interventions for younger children
We understand that parenting can feel overwhelming when your child is struggling. Our goal is not to blame parents or “fix” children, but to support the entire family system while helping children feel more successful, connected, and emotionally supported.
Therapy is not about creating a “perfect” child. It is about helping children and teens better understand themselves, navigate emotions in healthier ways, strengthen relationships, and build skills that support long-term emotional wellness.
Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, behavior, emotions, relationships, or life transitions, we are here to support your family and help your child find their way.
Teen Therapy
The teen years can be exciting, overwhelming, confusing, and emotionally exhausting all at the same time.
As teens navigate school pressures, friendships, identity development, family dynamics, social media, and increasing independence, many begin to feel stressed, anxious, withdrawn, emotionally overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others.
At Encompass Behavioral Group, we provide a supportive, welcoming, and judgment-free space where teens can feel heard, understood, and supported through life’s challenges.
Some common concerns teens may experience include:
- Anxiety or excessive stress
- Depression or low motivation
- Self-esteem and confidence struggles
- Friendship or relationship difficulties
- School-related stress or burnout
- Grief and loss
- Family conflict or major life transitions
- Emotional regulation difficulties
- Social isolation or feeling misunderstood
- Identity exploration
- Trauma or difficult life experiences
- Behavioral concerns or impulsivity
- ADHD or attention-related challenges
We understand that every teen is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where teens can openly express themselves while learning healthy coping skills, emotional regulation strategies, communication tools, confidence, and greater self-understanding.
Many teens simply need a space where they can slow down, feel accepted, and talk openly without fear of judgment.
We also value collaboration with parents and caregivers when appropriate, recognizing that strong support systems and healthy communication can play an important role in a teen’s emotional well-being and growth.
Therapy can help teens feel more confident, connected, resilient, and supported as they navigate this important stage of life.
They do not have to go through it alone — and neither do you.
