Helping Children & Teens Thrive 

Are you watching your child struggle and not sure how to help? Does your teenager seem like a completely different person than they were a year ago? Are you exhausted from the conflict, the worry, and the feeling that no matter what you try nothing seems to reach them?

​

We specialize in therapy for children and adolescents throughout California via telehealth. We work with children and teens who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral challenges, social difficulties, and the complicated emotions that come with growing up in a world that moves fast and does not always slow down for the hard stuff. Our approach is warm, evidence based, and genuinely engaging because we know that a child who does not feel comfortable will not do the work. And the work matters.

Does Your Child or Teen Need Support?

Children and teenagers do not always have the words for what they are going through. But they always have a way of showing it. Sometimes it looks like anger, defiance, or behavior that seems to come out of nowhere. Sometimes it looks like withdrawal, low grades, or a sadness that lingers longer than it should. Sometimes it looks like a child who cannot seem to make friends no matter how hard they try or a teenager who has completely shut down and stopped letting anyone in.

​

If any of this sounds familiar your child may benefit from working with a therapist who truly understands how young people think, feel, and communicate.

​

Common reasons families reach out to Harper's Haven for child and teen therapy:

 

  • ​Anxiety that shows up as school refusal, perfectionism, social fear, or physical complaints like stomachaches and headaches that do not have a medical explanation.

  • Depression that looks like sadness, irritability, low motivation, withdrawal from activities they used to love, or changes in sleep and appetite.

  • Trauma from childhood experiences, family disruption, loss, abuse, or witnessing something frightening.

  • Behavioral challenges including defiance, impulsivity, emotional outbursts, and difficulty following rules at home or school.

  • Social skill difficulties including trouble making and keeping friends, reading social cues, navigating peer conflict, and feeling left out or misunderstood.

  • Family transitions including divorce, blended family adjustments, moves, and changes that have disrupted their sense of stability and safety.

  • Low self-esteem and negative self-talk that keeps them from trying new things, asking for help, or believing they are capable of more.

How We Help Children and Teens at Harper's Haven

 

We believe every child is different and so is every struggle. There is no one size fits all approach here. When your child comes to Harper's Haven we take the time to understand their unique story, their specific challenges, and the strengths they are already carrying that therapy will help them build on. Our work is collaborative, creative, and always tailored to fit where your child is developmentally and emotionally.
