We often integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with other evidence-based treatments.
Child/Adolescent Therapy
The rates of childhood and teen mental health problems have progressively increased in the past decade. Children and teens grapple with different and increasing stressors than the previous generation and are influenced by a wide variety of cultural, societal, familial, and community factors.
At Brighter Outlook, we work with children from age 4 through to adulthood. We utilize evidence-based and time-tested protocols and strategies for addressing your child or teen’s mental health needs, as well as provide support and consultation to the larger context of family, school, and community.
​
You can expect a supportive and nurturing approach that is grounded in practical, skills-based learning. Our work together may involve adjusting maladaptive thought patterns, building strengths and facing fears, developing new and healthier behavior patterns, navigating interpersonal relationships, learning coping skills for managing challenging life situations and emotions, and increasing awareness and insight.
