Child & Adolescent Therapy

“We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he is someone today.” — Stacia Tauscher

 

Child & Adolescent Therapy

At Mind Matters we believe that creating a safe and trusting relationship with your child is essential for any effective therapy. We tailor our treatment to your child or adolescent’s specific struggles using a strengths-based approach.  

Through a collaborative and creative process, we will help your child identify their strengths and areas of growth while also developing healthy coping skills to target maladaptive behaviors.
