💬 Does My Child Need Therapy?
It’s normal for children to have emotional ups and downs. But when concerns persist or begin to interfere with daily life, it may be time to seek professional help.
Common signs your child may benefit from therapy include:
Frequent tantrums, aggression, or outbursts
Difficulty with attention, focus, or impulsivity
Anxiety, fears, or trouble separating from caregivers
Sleep disturbances or eating changes
Withdrawal from friends, family, or activities
Struggles after a divorce, move, loss, or trauma
Challenges at school (behavioral, emotional, or academic)
Seeking therapy is not a sign of failure—it’s a powerful step toward helping your child feel safe, understood, and supported.
