School Based Therapy Services for Elementary, Middle School, and High School Students in Goodyear and Greater West Valley of Phoenix
It’s hard and confusing for both of you. When your child is struggling it is so hard to know what to do.
They don’t seem like themselves lately. It hurts to see them hurting and you are at your wit’s end trying different approaches, but nothing seems to help.
You know that your kid or teen is struggling, that they are going through a hard time, but you don’t know how to help.
You’ve done the best you can by trying to help them get back on track and to feel better. And at the same time, you know they need extra support.
And as a guardian or parent, you don’t have to be their therapist or have all the answers.
That’s where I come in.
And even better…I can meet them right in the convenient location of their school.
You don’t have to take off work or time out of your busy day to take them to appointments. And they don’t have to miss more class than necessary and can still get the professional support they need to begin to change for the better.
How do school based counseling services for Kids or Teens work?
A Creative Space to Connect: We don’t just sit and talk—our sessions are filled with creativity to help you feel comfortable and open up.
Working Through What’s Going On: We use unique approaches to help you process what’s happening now and what’s happened before.
Making Changes Outside of Session: You’ll find creative ways to make positive changes in your daily life, not just in therapy.
Partnering with the School: We work closely with the school to offer sessions in the convenient location, right where your kids are every day. We also can support the child in the classroom by working with the teacher and school staff if the parent wishes. Parents reach out to your school to see if this is possible. School admin reach out to start services at your school.
