Child and Adolescent Counseling and Therapy Services

Pathways Psychology Services offers a variety of counseling services for children and adolescents including individual, family, and group therapy services to address a wide range of concerns and symptoms identified in children. We understand that counseling a child or teen requires a relatable and comfortable approach to ensure cooperation and engagement. Our philosophy is to unite the child, family, and therapist toward working together to reach common goals.

  Feel more self-confident and comfortable
  Feel less depressed and anxious and experience more happiness
  Improve academic functioning and pursue goals

  Stop making poor choices with harmful or potentially harmful consequences

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is a type of counseling that involves helping the child or teen to explore how their thinking and beliefs affect their problems as well as strategies to effectively manage and change thinking and behavior. This type of counseling can also involve behavioral strategies to increase emotional control and help families provide rewards and consequences to change behaviors and increse cooperation. Therapy can help children and adolescents implement more effective approaches to interpersonal relationships, academics, family life, and overall physical and emotional health. Our counselors and therapists are knowledgeable in specific therapy strategies that are effective with unique problems and combine knowledge and experience in providing the most effective treatments for children, teens, and families.
