At the Institute of Pediatric Psychology, we understand the challenges that young people face today. Our approach to therapy for children and teens focuses on helping them develop coping strategies to manage stress in healthy ways.

Teens often face tremendous pressure from various sources, such as academics, social media, friendships, and personal challenges. It's understandable that these stressors can significantly impact their emotional well-being. For some, self-harm may emerge as a way to cope with overwhelming feelings. However, it’s important to recognize that there are healthier, more supportive alternatives available that can provide the relief they need without causing harm.

Self-esteem is a vital part of a child’s emotional well-being. When kids and teens feel confident in themselves, they are much better equipped to face challenges, form meaningful relationships, and develop a positive outlook on life. As parents, your support and encouragement are crucial in helping your child build a healthy self-perception.

The beginning of a new year is an ideal opportunity to implement positive changes and healthy habits for the entire family. For children and teenagers, developing strong mental wellness practices can enhance resilience, improve emotional regulation, and foster lifelong coping skills.
