As kids get older and life becomes more complex, it is normal for kids to experience feelings of not feeling happy. Worry, sadness, fear, etc... they're not an indication that your child has a full-on psychiatric or psychologic diagnosis, they are just an indication that right now their life experience isn't what they'd prefer. But that's a part of life and that's okay. A child counselor or therapist helps a child identify what he/she is feeling and how to cope in a productive manner with those feelings that may be a normal response to a negative life situation. A psychologist obviously can do this also, but also specializes in "talk therapy" to try to help a patient deal with emotional disruptions that may no longer be directly tied to a specific trigger anymore. Over the next several weeks, I'm going to highlight a few groups/individuals that I have had past excellent experience with helping my patients. This week's spotlight is on Bird and Branch, PLLC, who can help with general areas of counseling and therapy but also specializes in helping with recovery from phobias and complex anxiety.
