Child psychology & adolescent psychology

child or teen help

Learning skills to manage emotions, navigate friends, set boundaries, develop healthy self-esteem, and cope with perfectionism are important. Giving a child these skills can be a lifelong gift and promote positive mental health. Children may struggle to express their issues, but a child psychologist can help them find their voice and address their worries.

Children experiencing low mood may present with irritability or other challenging behaviors. Helping your child learn coping strategies can be empowering and rewarding for both the child and the family.

At Masters Psychology, our child psychologists have extensive experience supporting children and adolescents with various issues, such as anxiety, depression, school performance, and resilience. We also work with gifted children, providing them with tools to navigate their strengths and differences.

Common reasons parents seek our services include poor confidence, behavioral issues, anxiety, sleep difficulties, assessments, and a range of emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges.
