Helping Children and Families Build Emotional Health and Resilience

Parenting a struggling child can be one of the hardest experiences you’ll face. You may notice your child having frequent outbursts, trouble sleeping, anxiety about school, or difficulty making friends and despite your best efforts, it feels like nothing is helping.

When a child is hurting, the whole family feels it. That’s where Child Therapy at Grove Counseling can help.

When Your Child’s Emotions Feel Too Big

Every child experiences big emotions at times but when worry, anger, or sadness start to interfere with daily life, it can be a sign your child needs extra support. You might see:

  • Frequent meltdowns or irritability

  • Withdrawal or sadness that doesn’t improve

  • Struggles with focus, behavior, or motivation

  • Difficulty adjusting to changes (divorce, loss, moving, etc.)

  • Excessive worry, perfectionism, or fear

These struggles can leave parents feeling frustrated, helpless, or even guilty - wondering what they’re missing. But the truth is, no one is meant to handle it alone. Child Therapy can help your child feel heard, supported, and capable again.
