Therapy for Kids

Children Today Are Growing Up In An Increasingly Stressful And Demanding World.

Kids today face unprecedented amounts of pressure to succeed in school and keep up with all the latest trends on social media. In New York City, these pressures are especially intense. The academic environment is highly competitive and children are expected to know what they want to do with their lives from a young age.

In the face of all these pressures, it’s no wonder so many children struggle to regulate their emotions. They are simply too young to know how to cope with all the stressors on their plate. As a result, they often behave in problematic ways to manage their mental health issues. They might misbehave at school, have meltdowns and outbursts, or refuse to talk about their problems. To figure out how to cope with their challenges effectively, sometimes children need the help of a mental health professional.

LIFE IN NEW YORK CITY IS ESPECIALLY INTENSE FOR KIDS.

A FEW THINGS THERAPY CAN HELP WITH:

Difficulty managing emotions or friendships.
Struggling to build and maintain healthy relationships.
Feeling stressed by their competitive school environment.
Engaging in impulsive or destructive behaviors to manage emotions.
Trouble listening to teachers, family members, or other adults.
Experiencing burnout from responsibilities at home, school, or work.
Experiencing intense and distressing emotions.
Responding to emotions ineffectively by shutting out friends, posting troublesome content on social media, using substances, or engaging in self-harm behavior.
Considering a therapist who works with teens for the first time.
Disordered eating and body image issues.

YOUR CHILD'S MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES COULD IMPACT YOUR OWN MENTAL HEALTH

Maybe your child seems out of control lately—they’re having frequent meltdowns and seemingly insignificant things trigger them and get under their skin. Perhaps they’re arguing with you constantly, fighting with their peers, and being disruptive at school. On the other hand, maybe your child seems abnormally withdrawn and apathetic lately. They’re not being disruptive or rebellious, but you’ve noticed concerning changes in their behavior. They no longer want to go outside or spend time with friends and have little motivation to engage in school or sports.

Regardless of what your child’s struggles are, you’re probably thinking that it’s time to talk to a therapist. At MindWell NYC, our goal is to provide insight into your child’s emotional and behavioral difficulties. We’ll help them identify the challenging parts of their life and figure out what’s getting in the way of them feeling happy, connected, and regulated. Along the way, we’ll equip you with parenting strategies so that you can continue the work of therapy in your home environment.
