Childhood Anxiety is overwhelming for children and their parents. Does your child struggle with:
Is it difficult to know when to push your child to face their fears or when to let them leave or quit?
We can help! We have extensive experience using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to treat Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder (Social Phobia) and Selective Mutism, and Specific Phobias (e.g., fears of dogs, insects, flying, etc). School refusal is also a common issue for some anxious children.
Our Goals:
- Refusal to participate in activities, even those they are likely to enjoy?
- Seeming controlling, irritable, or rigid in an attempt to control situations so that they feel safe?
- Frequent worries and 'what-if' questions?
- Physical symptoms of anxiety, like headaches, nausea, or aches and pains?
