Your child and teen's mental health is important to you. I keep hearing from colleges that their caseloads for working specifically with children and teens in the Harrisonburg area are full. Parents tell me that when they call for services in the Shenandoah Valley for child or teen counseling, they are repeatedly informed that the wait list is over a month, sometimes longer. I have had clients who told me that they have been searching for a therapist for over 6 months for their teen. If you are looking for someone who specializes in child therapy or teen therapy in Harrisonburg, VA; Spiral Roots LLC is currently accepting new clients. Call Melissa Deaton Cook at 540-416-1628
I want to help you find a child or teen therapist in Harrisonburg, VA.
Finding the right therapist is key. This is even more important when looking for a counselor for a child, tween, or teen.
Here are some tips for what to look for in a child or teen therapist:
*Someone who is licensed in the state you are in. Look for an LPC (Licensed professional counselor), LCSW (licensed clinical social worker), or LMFT (licensed marriage and family therapist).
*Someone who specializes in working with children and teens. They may provide play therapy, sand trays, or expressive art therapies. These modalities are typically more interactive and do not rely solely on talking in therapy.
*Someone willing to speak with or meet with the parent as needed. You as the parent are important and I believe integral in the healing and life of your young person.
*It can be helpful to select a few candidates. Look at their website together and then allow your child or teen to choose who they think might be a good fit.
