New Jersey Centers for Counseling, also known as Mars & Venus Counseling, knows how sensitive a subject child counseling is. Children are often fearful of therapy and require a special dialogue to help them feel comfortable enough to clearly express their feelings. Our Bergen County child counselor offers individual specialized counseling services that are designed just for children, adolescents and young people. Our variety of expertise allows us to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions and issues in children.
Teenagers and children can experience a variety of emotions and distress during their developmental stages. This distress can take the form of social anxiety or psychological disorders or problems. Emotional problems may also develop at this stage. They may act out in ways that culminate in behavioral problems, and may exhibit signs of low self-esteem or depression. Trouble in school or problems in class or with grades may also be a sign. Some children may exhibit hyperactivity. It is crucial that adolescents be able to communicate properly with their adult parents and interact in a positive way with the world around them. Teenagers at this stage begin to learn more about the world and begin paying more attention to their peers. Beginning a positive dialogue between the parent and the child is the best way to begin a positive therapy journey. Our Bergen County child counselor is experienced in handling these matters and matters that affect individual children, teenagers and their parents.
Through family therapy, families or individuals within a family learn more effective ways to communicate with one another, learn different style of interacting, and how to resolve conflicts. This type of counseling may include all family members or just those most able to participate. The specific treatment plan will depend on a particular family's situation. You can use family therapy to address many specific issues such as communication problems, anger management, and conflict resolution. Bergen County child counselor can provide an objective third person to help negotiate difficult issues. Working with a therapist, you'll examine your family's ability to solve problems and express thoughts and emotions. You may explore family roles, rules and behavior patterns in order to identify issues that contribute to conflict, as well as ways to work through these issues. Family therapy may help you identify your family's strengths, such as caring for one another, and weaknesses, such as difficulty confiding in one another.
