Clinical Counseling for Children​

Children may benefit from counseling if they show signs of anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, difficulty adapting to changes, or challenges in school or social settings. If you’ve tried various approaches to help your child but haven’t seen the improvement you hoped for, it might be time to consider professional support. At Pivot Counseling, we specialize in addressing emotional and behavioral difficulties that impact your child's well-being. We are dedicated to supporting families in Walnut Creek and neighboring areas such as Concord and Lafayette, providing tailored care to help your child thrive.

In our child counseling sessions, our therapists employ a range of age-appropriate techniques, including play therapy, art therapy, and storytelling, to help children express their feelings and address their challenges. These methods are specifically designed to allow children to communicate their thoughts and emotions in a natural and non-threatening way. Recognizing that a child's home environment is crucial to their development, our therapists at Pivot Counseling also work closely with parents and caregivers. We keep them informed about their child's progress and provide guidance on how to support their child's growth and well-being outside of the therapy room. At Pivot Counseling, we strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where children in Walnut Creek and the surrounding areas can comfortably explore their emotions and develop effective skills for managing their feelings.

Child counseling can significantly aid your child in developing better emotional regulation, enhancing social skills, and building resilience against life's challenges. By creating a safe and supportive environment, we work to uncover the root causes of their difficulties and implement effective interventions. Our goal is to strengthen their self-esteem, improve self-control, foster healthy self-expression, and support the development of satisfying relationships, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives. Whether your child is facing anxiety, anger, or family changes, our therapists at Pivot Counseling Group in Walnut Creek are prepared to provide the necessary support. We also extend our services to children from Concord, Lafayette, and other nearby communities, ensuring comprehensive care tailored to your child’s needs.

Absolutely, confidentiality is a cornerstone of child counseling. At Pivot Counseling, we prioritize keeping all discussions during sessions private to ensure a safe and trusting environment for your child. We also recognize the crucial role of healthy parent and caregiver involvement in supporting the child’s therapeutic progress. While we are committed to safeguarding your child's privacy, we will share clinically relevant information with parents to facilitate their understanding and support of the therapeutic process. Our goal is to balance confidentiality with meaningful parental involvement to foster the best outcomes for your child. We are committed to maintaining the trust and privacy of our clients in Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, and surrounding areas.
