Childhood anxiety refers to excessive worry, fear, and nervousness experienced by children and adolescents. It can manifest in various forms such as separation anxiety, social anxiety, generalized anxiety disorder, specific phobias, or panic disorder. At Beyond-Counseling, we offer a range of effective treatments for childhood anxiety that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Group therapy. For individuals with severe anxiety, medication may be prescribed in conjunction with therapy. Our partnered psychiatrists work closely with clients to develop personalized medication plans and monitor their progress. Our experienced and compassionate mental health professionals specialize in providing evidence-based therapies that help children and teens effectively manage their anxiety symptoms.

TREATMENT
At Beyond Counseling, we can thoroughly evaluate their symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. We aim to establish a connection with your child to encourage hope for their overall growth. Our counselors will teach your child how to recognize when they are feeling nervous and deal with those feelings constructively. Through our work with kids and teenagers, we help them create anxiety management strategies they can use for the rest of their lives.
We will work with them to identify unhelpful, unproductive thoughts and disprove them so they may feel better about themselves and face challenging situations with more assurance. We want to make your adolescent or teen happy and more confident in their skills. These approaches will also be reviewed with parents and caregivers for optimal success.
Don't let childhood anxiety hold your child back. Together, let's empower your child to overcome their anxiety and thrive in life. Call us today at 954-228-0856 to schedule an appointment and give your child the gift of a happier, stress-free childhood.
