    Child & Teen Trauma Counseling

    The behaviors noticed by the parents include the following:

    Troubled dreams
    Acting out a traumatic event during play
    Over-reacting to a trigger
    Avoidance of places, people, and things
    Negative belief about self
    Negative outlook about the world
    Persistent fears, anger, guilt or shame
    Lack of interest in social activities
    Isolation
    Tantrums
    Struggling in the family and
    Struggling at school

    Why choose TF-CBT?

    It is the best therapy for children between ages 3 to 18 who have experienced trauma. We use an evidence-based therapy which has worked effectively over the years. Our custom therapy plan helps the traumatized child to recover without the need of going through years of therapy. TF-CBT has the right training and certification to deliver the right results with precision. We stand shoulders above the competition.

    Information for Families and Children “TF-CBT”

    Parents, caregivers, and other family members want their children in their care to receive help to recover from the effects of trauma. Family members need information about the treatment process and what they can expect. Children need to know what is expected of them. Families should know this about TF-CBT:

    • It has been proven to work.
    • It is often successful in 12-16 sessions.
    • Talking about the trauma, even though it may be hard, is an important ingredient in successful therapy. This aspect of therapy will be done gradually and in collaboration with families. Children will not be forced to talk about what happened.
    • Sometimes during the early phases of therapy, children will be more upset than before therapy began. They may complain of not liking therapy. But, over time, remembering and talking will become easier and they will begin to feel better.
