Child & Adolescent Therapy – Helping Kids & Teens Thrive
Parenting isn’t easy — and when your child is struggling, it can feel overwhelming. At ZODU Health Services, we provide a safe, supportive space where kids and teens can share, grow, and thrive — while parents get the tools to guide them at home.
What Makes Our Therapy Different
Every child is unique — which is why we use play therapy, creative activities, talk therapy, and other age-appropriate approaches to make sessions engaging and effective.
Our goal: help your child feel heard, understood, and confident again.
When to Consider Therapy for Your Child
You might notice your child:
- Feeling anxious, worried, or afraid about school or friends
- Acting out with anger, tantrums, or defiance
- Withdrawing, feeling sad, or losing interest in activities
- Struggling with major life changes (divorce, loss, blended family)
- Having trouble focusing or staying motivated in school
Early support can make all the difference — helping kids build resilience before challenges grow bigger.
Partnering with Parents
You are your child’s most important support system, so we involve you in the process:
Share updates and insights from sessions
Teach you strategies to help at home
Work together to create a consistent plan for growth
👉 When parents and therapists work as a team, kids make faster progress.
Why Early Support Matters
Therapy gives kids the tools to manage emotions and grow stronger — skills that support them for life.
Handle stress and big emotions with confidence
Strengthen family and peer relationships
Improve focus, motivation, and school performance
Build resilience for a brighter future
FAQs About Child & Teen Therapy
How do I know if my child really needs therapy?
Look for changes in mood, sleep, behavior, or school performance. If you feel concerned, trust your instinct — an early check-in can prevent bigger problems later.
Will I be involved in therapy?
Yes! Parent involvement is key. We’ll keep you in the loop and give you tools to help your child between sessions.
My teen refuses therapy. Can you still help?
Yes. Our therapists are skilled at building trust and making therapy approachable, even for hesitant teens.
How long before I see changes?
Many families notice positive shifts within a few weeks, but lasting change comes with consistent sessions and parent participation.
What if my child just needs someone to talk to?
That’s okay too! Sometimes kids just need a safe space to share and process what’s going on.
Can therapy improve school performance?
Absolutely — when kids feel better emotionally, their focus, motivation, and confidence often improve too.
