Compassionate Psychotherapy for Children, Teens & Young Adults
Marin Youth Therapy in Corte Madera, CA
Are you worried about your child, but unsure how to help?
Your child may be getting in trouble at school or struggling with emotional outbursts or tantrums. You can see something has changed: perhaps your child seems depressed, anxious, or isolated. You’ve talked to teachers, done your own research, and tried everything you can think to try to help your child, but it’s beginning to feel overwhelming—like you can’t handle this all on your own. You want to reconnect with your child and find ways to improve communication and understanding. Because more than anything, you want to see your child thrive.
