Anxiety & Depression  Child counselors and play therapists use play or talk therapy to help kids understand their feelings, learn ways to handle anxiety and depression, and process big changes, trauma, grief, and other issues. Child psychologists assess kids to identify their needs related to learning, emotions, or behavior. They can diagnose issues like autism, ADHD, depression, or anxiety and suggest support plans for home and school. Child Psychiatrists can assess if medication might be needed to balance mood or reduce severe anxiety. | Behavioral Challenges
Child counselors and play therapists help kids with big feelings and behaviors at home and school. Occupational therapists help kids with sensory differences that affect behavior. Child psychologists assess for issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, or autism that may affect behavior. ABA therapists and BCBAs focus on understanding behaviors and creating plans, especially for kids with autism, to promote positive behaviors. |
Medication Management
Child psychiatrists are doctors who specialize in kids' mental health. They assess if medication can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, or other issues. They also work with parents to monitor and adjust the medication for the best results. | Communication Difficulties
Speech therapists help kids who have speech impediments, speech delays, understanding language, or socializing. They teach skills for making friends, following conversations, and clearly expressing needs. |
Developmental Concerns
Occupational therapists assist kids daily living skills like dressing and writing, and treat sensory processing disorders. Speech therapists can help with feeding issues, and improve speech and language skills. Physical therapists help with movement and coordination delays. Child psychologists assess cognitive and emotional development to identify areas needing support. | Sensory & Motor Skills
