Child/Adolescent Counseling

Our approach to treatment is warm, engaging, and collaborative, dedicated to providing state-of-the-art treatment utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Whether we are working with the family or the child alone we focus on attainable goals and the strengthening of the child’s resilience. We use cutting-edge CBT-related research and protocols to provide CBT of the highest quality to assists them in developing new healthy behaviors, ways of thinking about events, and to have better control over their mood states. Researchers suggest that new skill-sets such as these will enable improvements long after therapy ends. We also treat treat children ages 1-10 through our PCIT/ PC-CARE programs: www.PCITInstituteofSoCal.com and Treat children without them being directly involved with our SPACE program.

In most cases, our 45-50 minute sessions are ideal, though families prefer to come for longer sessions (90 minutes). * Research in Cognitive Therapy shows people complete their course in treatment between 10-21 sessions depending on the issues. Within the first few sessions we will be able to estimate the amount of sessions.
