Child Therapy
Watching your child struggle emotionally, socially, or behaviorally can be difficult and, at times, overwhelming. When you are not sure what is going on or how to help, it can affect not only your child, but the entire family.
You do not have to figure this out on your own.
At Pinellas Psychology Associates, we help children and families better understand what is happening and develop practical ways to move forward.
When Therapy May Be Helpful
You may want to consider therapy if your child is:
- Showing increased anxiety, sadness, or withdrawal
- Struggling with behavior, frustration, or emotional outbursts
- Having difficulty with transitions, routines, or flexibility
- Experiencing challenges in relationships with peers or family
- Becoming overly self-critical or sensitive to feedback
Our Approach
We take a thoughtful and individualized approach to working with children.
Our focus is on helping you understand the underlying factors contributing to your child’s challenges, while also providing clear strategies that support both your child and your family.
Treatment may include:
- Helping your child identify and express emotions more effectively
- Developing skills to manage frustration, stress, and disappointment
- Supporting parents in creating structure, consistency, and effective responses at home
- Strengthening confidence, resilience, and emotional awareness
Supporting the Whole Family
Work with children is most effective when parents feel supported as well.
We provide guidance to help you better understand your child’s needs and respond in ways that are both effective and sustainable in daily life.
Getting Started
If you are considering therapy for your child, the next step is a brief consultation to better understand your concerns and determine the most appropriate path forward.
We offer in-person services in St. Petersburg and virtual sessions throughout Florida. We also provide services in New York and offer telehealth services across many other states through PSYPACT.
