Could you or your child benefit from Child & Family Counseling? Unexpected events in life can rock the emotional foundation of our homes.
We are here to help.
At CDI, Child & Family Counseling is available to children and parents/caregivers to help create and strengthen a healthy emotional environment at home. Counseling can also help build resilience and the ability to cope with stressors in a positive manner.
Early, nurturing relationships are one of the most important factors for your child’s development of a sense of self and of others. Healthy social-emotional development builds self-confidence, compassion and an overall positive outlook on life. It also shapes your child’s ability to cope with stress and manage feelings.
What makes Child & Family Counseling at CDI different?
Family Focused: At CDI, we don’t work with children in isolation, we involve the parents in the counseling sessions. We support the whole family. We believe in supporting parents in understanding their child’s emotional needs and building family resilience.
“Whole Child” Integrated Approach: With our organizational focus to integrate services, often children and families are recommended to counseling from another service or therapy. A child may need support working through trauma in order to see more positive results with developmental improvement.
Customized, Individualized: Child & Family Counseling at CDI incorporates cutting-edge treatment and best-practice strategies to create an individualized plan to meet your child and family’s specific needs.
