Psychology - Psychotherapy of children and adolescents

Parents should consult a child or adolescent psychotherapist when concerned about their child’s psychological state. Sometimes, parents see behavior changes, and teachers or doctors report reasons for anxiety. People also come to a psychotherapist when they need to talk about their state of mind, share something important, and get support. Not always, for one reason or another, parents can fulfill this function. 

Children can have a wide variety of problems, they do not always manifest themselves at home. Sometimes, they communicate with their peers at school in the yard. The psychotherapist is the person whose task is to understand the difficulties and complications that arise in the lives of children. A child’s bad behavior is just a symptom, behind which some issues must be addressed. Often, a child has no other way to show pain than disobeying family rules and misbehaving. We help when a child is constantly irritated, sad, or anxious, does not want to study, has difficulties adapting to a new school or a new country, has no friends, suffers from first love, has eating disorders, depressive disorders, and self-harming behavior. The therapist also helps to establish relationships between parents and children.

Children and adolescents can communicate about their condition using language, but they often choose a game or behavior. Our therapists help the child to understand their situation and describe it using words. Once this skill is mastered, the child or adolescent will not have to use behavior to tell others how they feel. And when a problem is given a name, it becomes possible to solve this problem – there is space for reflection and time to find solutions.
