Children & Teen Counseling
Support for emotional growth, resilience, and well-being at every stage
Children and teens experience the world differently than adults, and when challenges arise, they often show up through behavior, emotions, school struggles, or withdrawal rather than words. At Radiant Recovery and Counseling, Children & Teen Counseling provides a safe, supportive space where young people can express themselves, build coping skills, and feel understood, while families receive guidance and support along the way.
Our approach honors each child’s developmental stage, identity, and lived experience, meeting them where they are emotionally and socially.
Who children and teen counseling is for
Children and teen counseling may be a good fit for youth who are:
Struggling with anxiety, worry, or emotional overwhelm
Experiencing mood changes, sadness, or irritability
Having difficulty with behavior, attention, or emotional regulation
Navigating school stress, social challenges, or peer relationships
Coping with trauma, grief, or significant life changes
Adjusting to family transitions such as separation, relocation, or immigration stress
Exploring identity or feeling misunderstood or disconnected
Support is available for children, adolescents, and teens, with care tailored to their age, needs, and developmental level.
How children and teen counseling works at Radiant Recovery and Counseling
Our children and teen counseling services are trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and developmentally appropriate. Therapy is designed to feel safe, engaging, and supportive, allowing young people to express emotions in ways that feel natural to them.
Therapists work collaboratively with children and teens to help them understand their feelings, develop healthy coping strategies, and build emotional resilience. Sessions may include conversation, creative expression, skill-building, and age-appropriate therapeutic tools.
We recognize that family systems play a critical role in a child’s well-being. When appropriate, therapists collaborate with parents or caregivers to support progress, strengthen communication, and reinforce skills outside of sessions.
What children and teen counseling can help with
Children and teen counseling may support:
Anxiety and stress-related concerns
Depression and mood changes
Emotional regulation and coping skills
Trauma and post-traumatic stress
Grief and loss
Behavioral challenges
School-related stress and transitions
Self-esteem and identity development
Each child’s care is individualized based on their strengths, needs, and goals.
For parents and caregivers
Parents and caregivers are an essential part of the therapeutic process. While therapy sessions are focused on supporting the child or teen, caregivers may be included as appropriate to share insights, receive guidance, and support progress at home.
Our team prioritizes clear communication, collaboration, and respect for family dynamics, while also honoring the child’s need for privacy and trust within therapy. Therapists will discuss expectations, involvement, and boundaries at the start of care.
What to expect
