Children's Therapy

Children face many of the same mental health challenges adults do, as well as struggling with the exciting, confusing, and overwhelming process of growing up. To give them the support they need to thrive, now and in the future, the mental health providers at Avighna Holistic Care in Raleigh, North Carolina, offer children’s therapy. Mental health support can improve how they function, learn, and form close relationships with peers and family. To schedule an evaluation, call the practice or book online today.

What is children’s therapy, and why is it so vital?

Being a child is hard. Growing up is fraught with physical and emotional changes that occur in rapid succession and can be overwhelming, even frightening.

To add to the challenge, life is faster-paced than ever and social pressure can pervade every aspect of their lives. It’s little wonder that children show signs of stress and strain.

Children’s therapy helps children and adolescents recognize, process, better understand, and manage their behaviors and feelings. Behavioral, emotional, and mental disorders can begin early and go on to impact your child’s health and well-being, as well as your whole family.

Avighna Holistic Care provides personalized care in a safe, comfortable environment so they can have the support they need as soon as possible. They also offer marriage and family therapy to ensure every member of the family has an equal opportunity to share their needs, listen to those around them, and connect more deeply.

When may children’s therapy be beneficial?

Children’s therapy can help if your child has been diagnosed with or has symptoms of:

• Anxiety
• Trauma
• Depression
• Behavioral problems, such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, or academic struggles
• Eating disorders
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Identity problems

Avighna Holistic Care offers a wide range of services that can complement children’s therapy, such as anger management, stress management, and LGBTQ+ affirming care.

How does children’s therapy work?

The Avighna Holistic Care team provides support and guidance to help you and your child better understand and communicate with each other. Your child can also:

• Learn healthy coping strategies
• Improve their resilience
• Develop great social- and self-awareness
• Build stronger relationships with peers and family
• Make informed decisions
• Take responsibility for their actions and outcomes
• Think more positively about the future

Instead of sitting helplessly with issues that can feel insurmountable, your child takes what they learn in therapy and tackles problems with the support they need. Nobody goes through life without challenges, and children’s therapy gives them vital tools to thrive, now and in the future.
