Children and Teens

The Area's Premier Provider for Children and Teenagers

Family Psychological Services provides developmentally-informed, evidence-informed mental health care for children and teens facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, developmental, and family challenges. Our staff help young people better understand themselves, build healthy coping skills, improve communication, and strengthen relationships at home, school, and in the community. For children, services often focus on concerns such as anxiety, mood difficulties, attention and behavior problems, adjustment to family changes, social struggles, school stress, and emotional regulation. Therapy is tailored to the child’s age and developmental level, often involving parents or caregivers so progress can continue outside the office. For teens, Family Psychological Services offers a supportive place to talk honestly about anxiety, depression, stress, identity development, peer relationships, family conflict, academic pressure, life transitions, and decision-making. Clinicians work to help adolescents develop resilience, self-awareness, problem-solving skills, and healthier patterns of communication. A central strength of the practice is its family-centered approach. Rather than viewing children or teens in isolation, Family Psychological Services considers the broader family system, school environment, and developmental context. The goal is to help young people feel understood, supported, and equipped to grow into healthier, more confident versions of themselves.
