CHILD & TEEN THERAPY IN GOLDEN, CO
CHILD & TEEN THERAPY
COMPASSIONATE CARE FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS.
At Family Solutions Counseling, we understand that childhood and adolescence are unique stages filled with growth, challenges, and change. Children and teens experience the world differently than adults, and sometimes life’s hurdles can feel overwhelming. From anxiety and depression to difficulties in school, social challenges, and family transitions - kids and teens often need specialized support to develop coping skills and emotional resilience.
Our therapy approach is designed to provide compassionate care tailored to each child or teen’s needs. We create a safe, nurturing environment where young clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. By integrating evidence-based techniques and developmentally appropriate interventions, we help children and teens navigate their emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and learn strategies to thrive both at home and at school.
Whether your child is struggling with social skills, coping with grief, adjusting to parental divorce, or managing ADHD - our team is here to guide them with patience, understanding, and encouragement. Our focus is not only on addressing current challenges but also on building lifelong skills that promote confidence, resilience, and overall well-being.
CHILD THERAPY
Childhood can be a joyful time, but it can also present challenges that may interfere with your child’s emotional, social, or academic development. Our Child Therapy program supports children ages 3-12 through a variety of therapeutic methods designed to meet each child where they are.
We use play therapy, art therapy, and talk-based approaches to help children express feelings that may be difficult to verbalize. Through structured activities, children can explore emotions safely, develop coping skills, and improve social interactions. For example, children struggling with anxiety can learn calming strategies and ways to manage worry in daily life, while those experiencing depression can gain tools to improve self-esteem and engage positively with peers.
We also help children navigate life transitions such as divorce, the loss of a loved one, moving to a new school, or changes in family dynamics. By providing guidance in a supportive environment, we help children process grief, adjust to change, and feel secure despite uncertainty.
For children diagnosed with ADHD or other developmental or neurodivergent challenges, our therapists focus on helping them develop strategies for focus, self-regulation, and successful engagement both at home and in school settings. We emphasize social skills development, allowing children to build positive relationships and communicate effectively with peers.
Some of the most common concerns we address in child therapy include:
Anxiety, panic, and worries about school or social situations
Depression, low mood, or withdrawal
Behavioral challenges at home or school
Coping with grief, loss, or trauma
Challenges related to divorce, separation, or blended families
ADHD, attention difficulties, and executive functioning challenges
Social skills deficits or difficulties making and keeping friends
Our goal in child therapy is to empower children to express themselves safely, build confidence, and develop the skills needed to thrive in their daily lives. Every session is tailored to your child’s individual needs, making therapy a collaborative and engaging process that promotes meaningful growth
Some areas covered in teen therapy include:
Anxiety and worry about school, social situations, or the future
Depression, low motivation, or feelings of isolation
Coping with grief, divorce, or family changes
ADHD and difficulties with focus, organization, or self-regulation
Social skills, peer challenges, and healthy relationship-building
Emotional regulation, self-esteem, and identity development
Through personalized therapy plans, teens develop strategies to overcome challenges, strengthen resilience, and cultivate a sense of agency over their lives. Our goal is to help them transition into adulthood with confidence, self-awareness, and emotional balance
TEEN THERAPY
Adolescence is a time of tremendous change, independence, and self-discovery, but it can also come with stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges. Our Teen Therapy services support adolescents ages 13-18 as they navigate academic pressures, social dynamics, family changes, and personal growth.
Teens often experience anxiety and depression that can affect their school performance, social life, and overall well-being. Our therapists provide a safe space where teens can explore their feelings, identify patterns, and develop strategies to manage stress effectively. Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness exercises, and skill-building activities are tailored to help teens reduce negative self-talk, regulate emotions, and increase confidence.
We also address issues like coping with grief, divorce, or blended family challenges, which can have a significant impact on an adolescent’s mental health. Teens learn constructive ways to process these experiences, express emotions, and maintain healthy relationships with family and friends.
Social skills and peer relationships are another critical area we support. Many teens struggle with peer pressure, bullying, or difficulty making friends. Through therapy, teens develop communication skills, assertiveness, and strategies for healthy interactions.
Our approach also helps teens manage challenges related to ADHD, school stress, or behavioral concerns, fostering improved organization, time management, and problem-solving skills. We recognize that adolescence is a time of developing independence, and therapy focuses on equipping teens with the tools they need to advocate for themselves, set healthy boundaries, and make thoughtful decisions.
