Mental Health Couseling

“One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart”.
– Linda Poindexter

Counseling for Children

Are you experiencing difficulty with your child’s behavior? Have you observed any of the following: changes in eating or sleeping habits, engaging in destructive behaviors, extreme feelings of sadness and/or worry, isolation from friends and family, increased physical complaints, and/or talks about death or dying?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then Heritage Behavioral Health may be able to help you.

Here at Heritage Behavioral Health & Wellness, we take a collaborative approach with working with the child and parent as a whole. Information is gathered from the parent/guardian and is compared to the concerns of the child as we all work together to achieve the desired social, emotional, and behavioral goals.

Play therapy is a form of therapy utilized for children who may not be able to process their feelings and emotions to the adults in their lives via traditional talk therapy. Research has shown that younger children ages 6-11 respond well to play therapy. With play therapy, clinicians are able to gain insight into issues children may not be able to properly express. It has been proven to assist children in exploring emotions and processing unresolved trauma. Play therapy has helped children develop positive and healthy coping mechanisms aimed at decreasing and/or eliminating undesirable and inappropriate thoughts, behaviors, and actions.

Counseling for Adolescents

Adolescence is the period of transition between childhood and adulthood. Children who are entering the adolescence phase are going through many changes that are physical, intellectual, personality and social developmental. Between rapid physical changes and deep emotional changes, the transition from to childhood to adolescents can be a confusing and uncomfortable process for both the parent and child.

As a parent/guardian, speaking to your adolescent teen may prove to present many challenges. During this time your teen struggles to understands themselves and the world around them.

Finding a therapist who has experience working with teens as well as parents of teens can assist in bridging the gap between parent and child and foster a healthy bond.
