Individual Psychotherapy for Children & Adolescents
Child and adolescent psychotherapy uses approaches that combine creativity with the therapeutic process, allowing young people to express their feelings through play, activities, or simple discussions. This therapy helps children and adolescents develop healthy coping mechanisms and overcome the problems that trouble them, such as phobias, family tensions, or social difficulties.
Goals:
-
Enhancing emotional expression and understanding
-
Supporting emotional development and self-esteem
-
Addressing childhood or adolescent phobias, anxiety, or depression
-
Developing strategies to tackle social and school challenges
-
Facilitating communication between parents and children/adolescents
The contribution of the family is crucial in the therapy of children and adolescents. The family is not only the environment in which the child or adolescent grows but also an important supportive factor in the therapeutic process. Active involvement of parents and family members can strengthen the child’s emotional development, improve communication dynamics, and contribute to resolving family tensions that may affect the young person’s mental health. With proper guidance, the family can learn how to support the child in effective and positive ways, thereby creating a healthy and safe environment for the child's psychological development.
