Helping your family regain your sense of calm

You know your child isn't quite their usual self, but you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong.

​

As parents, we want our kids to grow up feeling ready to take on whatever life may throw at them. However, today’s kids and teens face immense pressure—from fitting in and managing homework in a competitive academic environment, to balancing friendships and sports. With the added stress of social media, bullying, and college applications, it is a tough time to be a kid.

​

When kids struggle to cope, it can show up in a lot of different ways. We're here to help.​

 

Our team is trained in a variety of effective evidence-based strategies to help both you and your child reduce the struggle of every day life. We’ll help you and your child learn to:

​

  • Talk back to that inner critic

  • Build and maintain healthy friendships

  • Do every day things that may feel impossible to your child

  • Address feelings of sadness and low self-worth

​

We're here to help you answer the tough questions and navigate this confusing time,  together.

​

Anxiety and depression are two common mental health challenges many kids encounter. You may feel like your child or teen has lost the spark for life they once had, and you're desperate to help them get it back.

 

When your child struggles with these feelings, their relationships with family and friends can take a hit. You may notice them lashing out in anger towards family members, or isolating from friends. 

​

La Jolla Therapy Center is here to help.​

​

We offer free 20-minute phone consultations to learn more about you and your family and explore how we can best support you. During the consultation, we’ll take time to understand your family’s needs and help determine which therapist may be the best fit. We collaborate closely with parents throughout the treatment process to discuss treatment goals, expectations, and ongoing support every step of the way.
