In today’s society, children and adolescents face challenges that are more complex, demanding, and confusing than ever before. The psychotherapists at Bloomingdale Psychological Services run treatment programs that can help children cope with issues involving family, peers, and school, providing emotional support for children as they deal with everything from divorce to adjusting to college life. They offer children the opportunity to identify, discuss, and understand problems they encounter in their daily environments and to develop coping skills to manage challenges as they arise.

Psychotherapists at Bloomingdale Psychological Services examine a number of factors in order to determine the appropriate treatment for your child. Most importantly, we will evaluate the extent to which emotional distress is disrupting daily functioning. If the child is facing problems outside of the normal range of daily experience, treatment may be warranted. Some parents are apprehensive when faced with the reality that their child may need psychological treatment. It is important for parents to recognize that the need for such intervention is not a sign of parental weakness, but instead a natural developmental stage of a child’s growth. Parental involvement and support is always a crucial component of a child’s treatment at Bloomingdale Psychological Services. We view parents as partners in the process of therapy with their child, and we coordinate with parents to ensure that their goals and concerns are addressed.

Psychotherapy can help children of all age groups. Since each developmental stage presents its own specific set of problems, we adapt our treatment to meet the unique needs and concerns of each individual child.
