Why Children and Teens Therapy?

Todays culture is changing everyday. What was once defined as normal is being challenged and re-assigned by policy makers. The impact that this has on our children is HUGE.  Today’s youth are more stressed and anxious, concerned about safety at school, confused about their gender, and driven by social media. Their playgrounds have become overtaken by bullying, they are addicted to Facebook, You Tube and Instagram, using their cell phones for sexting, and searching for pornography. Body image concerns are also beginning younger, even before middle school, leading to eating disorders and other health concerns. 

Sometimes our children begin to act out emotionally or behaviorally.  They begin to become angry or show signs of anxiety and depression. There can be many factors that contribute to a child’s well being, such as a divorce or loss of an important family member, a blended family,  moving to a new home or  starting school.  Often times  academic success becomes more challenging.   Agape has trained counselors whose passion is to help bring clarity, offer help through the grief and trauma , family support to divorce and blended  life changes, and to  provide educational resources and assessments for academic improvement.

We understand the helpless feelings of today’s parents. Our clinicians are not only professionals, they are concerned parents and educators too. They stay on the cutting edge of trainings as technology daily ramps up the world that our kids encounter. Give us a call so we can fight together.
