Trust & Experience
Pediatric Counseling Center’s sole focus is providing quality, evidence based therapeutic services to children. Our years of experience have lead us to specialize in treatment modalities that are proven to increase children’s positive relationships, resiliency and ability to cope.
Different Services We Offer
Individual Therapy
Many children experience sadness, excessive worry, anger and difficulty coping. Parents do everything they know to help and support their child during this time, however sometimes professional assistance is needed. We have extensive experience working with children and adolescents and can provide targeted treatment options to best address your concerns.
Trauma Focused Therapy
In spite of our best efforts as parents, children often end up experiencing traumatic events. Traumatic events can include medical trauma, witnessing scary events, sexual abuse, physical abuse and domestic violence. While we may want to believe that if they do not talk about it, they will forget, that simply is not the case. If children do not get help, they experience nightmares, distressing memories, anxiety, sadness, and other symptoms.
Parent Child Interaction Therapy
Parent Child Interaction therapy is an evidence based treatment modality specifically for children ages 2-7 who struggle with age appropriate expectations. At the end of treatment, not only does the child listen and follow directions, but also the parent/child relationship is strengthened and you enjoy time together.
Play Therapy
For some children, talking about their thoughts and feelings is difficult. Play therapy uses age appropriate interventions and activities for children to express themselves and resolve problems.
