Children's Therapy in Madison  Connecticut 06443
We recognize that choosing to seek  help for a problem can be hard. Sometimes children themselves
recognize that something is wrong, while other times parents or teachers identify a difficulty or
situation. Therapy can help a child understand what may be making them sad, worried, or behaving
in ways that is causing them problems in their daily lives at home or at school.

Depending on their individual developmental stages in life, all children have unique
needs and concerns when attending therapy or counseling. Children's therapy has
these essential components.  It is a combination of listening and talking, as well as
building a supportive and trusting relationship with the therapist or counselor. It
may take several meeting with a therapist before a child is comfortable enough to
share. Mental health therapy sessions are learning sessions for children.  They
learn to develop new ways of building skills, and coping with troubling thoughts,
and behaviors.  Children and families work to strengthen their abilities to make
changes, with the support of professionals. At Coastal Counseling Associates we
make every effort to build a constructive and supportive relationship with a child.
Our therapists have taken course work in human development and children's
therapy approaches. A therapist has special skills in talking, listening, and
observation.  They are patient and support the child and family.
