Child & Teen Counseling at Connection Couples Counseling
Supporting Your Child Through Connection, Collaboration, and Care
Growing up isn’t easy—and neither is parenting a child through it. At Connection Couples Counseling, we offer specialized counseling for children and teens, with a collaborative approach that includes parents every step of the way.
​
Our goal is to support your child’s mental health while also strengthening your relationship with them. Together, we help your family navigate difficulties with greater understanding, compassion, and confidence.
Our Collaborative Approach with Parents
We believe that the most effective child and teen therapy includes you—the parent or caregiver—as an essential part of the process. Here’s how we work together:
-
Initial Consultation
We start by meeting with parents & child to understand your concerns, your child’s history, and your goals for therapy. -
Ongoing Collaboration
Throughout treatment, we schedule regular parent check-ins to share insights, offer strategies, and support your role at home. -
Family-Focused Support
We may include parent-child sessions or whole-family sessions when it supports the therapeutic goals. -
Empowerment Through Understanding
We help you understand what your child is experiencing and equip you with tools to support their emotional growth.
This balanced approach allows us to support your child in the therapy room, while also empowering you at home—so healing and growth can happen in every environment.
