Child Therapy in Wethersfield, CT

Help your child work through stress, confidence issues, and anxiety and develop healthy coping strategies.

How do you know if your child needs therapy?

Children can be difficult to read, and it can be challenging to determine what’s “just a phase” or real reason for concern. It’s important to look out for behavior that suggests your child is struggling. Some common signs are:

  • They’re feeling anxious or fearful of things that they were once comfortable with, such as going to school or being around other children.

 

  • They’re throwing temper tantrums more often, and you’re having trouble consoling them.

 

  • They’ve become excessively clingy or are demonstrating signs of separation anxiety.

 

  • They’re having trouble at bedtime. Bedwetting, frequent nightmares, or the inability to get to sleep are all signs to check in on your child’s mental health.

 

  • They’ve become more angry, aggressive, or easily frustrated with family, caregivers, or other children. 

 

  • You’ve recently had a big change in your household or family and want your child to develop healthy coping strategies. This might be divorce, death of a close relative, a new sibling, moving schools, or another change.
