Child Evaluation & Treatment Center (CETC) counselors have specialized training and experience working with children of all ages, from the three-year old with out-of-control temper tantrums to the teenager struggling with depression and low self-esteem. Our services include sessions for individuals, for parents, or for both together.

Parents often seek our help when they have a child suffering with:

• Depression and suicidal feelings
• Self-esteem and self-image problems
• Anxiety disorders: excessive worry or guilt, separation anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, and obsessive-compulsive disorder
• “Bad attitudes” as manifest in oppositionality, non-compliance, or defiance
• Trauma stemming from sexual, physical, or emotional abuse
• Adjustment to the divorce or re-marriage of parents
• Grief related to a significant loss (e.g., death of a loved one, recent move)
• Drug, alcohol, or pornography addictions
• Acting out or self-mutilation
• Moodiness or frequent irritable mood
• Out-of-control anger and aggression
• Manipulative and irresponsible behavior
• Ineffective social skills
• Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Academic problems (i.e., related to learning disabilities)
