This developmental period can be challenging if the child is having academic issues, peer relation issues, bullying or personal issues at home. These concerns can be addressed with effective communication and guidance. Research shows if these issues are not resolved, they can have lasting effects on the child through adolescence and adulthood.
Psychotherapy can provide the child with a safe space to process their feelings and emotions that may be affecting their behavior and thoughts towards family, peers, academics and self-esteem. Intervention used is a strength-based approach which has been proven effective when working with this age group.
