What Do Therapists Help With?
Therapists help kids and their families with many kinds of things. For example, they can help if kids:
- have bedtime worries, school stress, or trouble getting along
- have trouble paying attention, staying focused, or sitting still in class
- argue, fight, or lose their patience too often
- worry about their health or safety
- have aches and pains even when they aren’t sick
- are going through a family problem, a health problem, or hard times
- feel too much stress, anxiety, worry, anger, sadness, depression, or grief
- have trouble with friends or siblings
- So much more!
What Happens When You Meet a Therapist?
When you first meet a therapist, they will talk with you and your parent. They will help you feel welcome. They will ask questions and listen. This helps them learn more about you.
Most of the time, therapists will have kids come back for more visits to get the help they need. These visits are called therapy. Kids might go to therapy once a week for a few months.
What Happens When You Go to Therapy?
When kids go to therapy, they meet with their therapist to play, talk and learn. They teach lessons and have kids do activities. They show parents how to help, too. Going to therapy can help kids learn to feel better and more confident in who they are!
