Parenting
Parenting counseling, also known as parent therapy or family therapy, is a type of mental health support that focuses on improving parenting skills and strengthening the parent-child relationship. It addresses a wide range of parenting challenges and can benefit both parents and children by providing tools, guidance, and support to navigate various situations and promote healthy family dynamics.

Adolescence is a critical period for mental health, with many conditions emerging or worsening during this time. Mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression, are among the leading causes of disability globally, affecting up to 25-30% of adolescents and young adults. Furthermore, a significant portion of adolescents experience persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and consider or attempt suicide.
Children
Children’s mental health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social development. Mental health challenges in children can significantly impact their ability to learn, build relationships, and navigate daily life. Recognizing and addressing these challenges early is crucial, as symptoms can emerge in childhood and adolescence, with potential long-term consequences if left untreated.
Teenagers
Teenage mental health encompasses the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of individuals aged 13-19. It’s a period of significant change and development, making teenagers particularly vulnerable to mental health challenges. While many teenagers navigate these years successfully, a significant number experience mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse. These conditions can significantly impact academic performance, social relationships, and overall quality of life.

Grandparenting can have both positive and negative impacts on mental health, with the intensity of caregiving playing a significant role.

Understanding the stages of grief, recognizing symptoms, and seeking support are crucial for navigating this challenging experience.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a common emotion characterized by feelings of unease, worry, or fear, which can range from mild to severe. It’s a normal human response to stress, but when it becomes excessive, persistent, and interferes with daily life, it can be a sign of an anxiety disorder.
Depression
Depression is a common and serious mood disorder that affects how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. It’s more than just feeling down; it’s a persistent state of low mood and aversion to activity that can significantly impact daily life. Depression can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or socioeconomic status.
Trama Informed
Trauma-informed mental health care acknowledges the widespread impact of trauma on individuals and incorporates this understanding into all aspects of service delivery. It emphasizes creating a safe, supportive, and empowering environment for healing, rather than focusing solely on the traumatic event itself. This approach is crucial for effective mental health treatment, as trauma can significantly affect a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Divorce
Divorce significantly impacts mental health, often leading to increased anxiety, depression, and loneliness, especially for children and individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions. However, there are strategies for managing these challenges, such as seeking therapy, practicing self-care, and fostering social connections.
