Child Therapy Online in Vermont—Therapists, Counselors, and Psychologists for Kids
Nothing hurts worse than seeing your child go through something that you can’t physically fix. As a parent, you want nothing more than for them to be happy, healthy, and full of life. The cause of your child’s distress could be caused by a sudden trauma or lingering, unresolved issues. Consider these following situations:
- Your child has recently begun acting up at school. Your once sweet, innocent little one is now starting fights, arguing with teachers, and disrupting classrooms.
- You and your spouse are getting a divorce and your child is having a hard time coming to terms with the situation.
- Your partner is in the military and it causes you and your family to move around a lot. You notice that your child has difficulty making new friends and adapting to the constant change.
- Your child was involved in a traumatic event and is having nightmares about the incident. They are often inconsolable.
No matter what your child is going through, whether you know what it is or not, there is help. If you think they are struggling in some way, consider reaching out to a child therapist. At Thriveworks Vermont Counseling, our child therapists are licensed and skilled in treating a wide variety of childhood concerns including trauma, divorce, bullying, and more. There is no reason to wait any longer. The sooner you can help them overcome their obstacles, the sooner they will be back to their happy, joyful selves. Call us to get started.
