What happens during the first counseling session?

During the first counseling session, you and the counselor will go over intake paperwork, confidentiality, goals, medical history, medication history, family history, substance abuse history, and other key areas pertinent to treatment.

How can counseling help my child with anger?

Kids often deal with anger in different ways. Sometimes the anger comes out with yelling or physical aggression. Therapy helps kids learn to understand why they are experiencing anger, what triggers anger, and how to manage anger. During counseling sessions, your child is able to reflect on past experiences that resulted in a struggle to manage anger. The counselor is able to support with developing creative and healthy tools to reduce anger as well as replace it with healthy alternatives.

Are there additional counseling resources available?

Do I need to take medication while working with my counselor?
