Child & Teen Therapy in Sandy, Utah
Helping young people navigate anxiety, emotions, and life's challenges with compassionate, age-appropriate care. Your child deserves to feel understood.
Is Your Child Struggling?
Children often can't express what they're feeling in words. Watch for these signs that your child might benefit from therapy:
Mood Changes
Increased sadness, irritability, anger outbursts, or emotional withdrawal that seems out of character.
Sleep or Appetite Changes
Trouble falling asleep, nightmares, eating significantly more or less than usual.
School Difficulties
Declining grades, refusing to go to school, trouble with teachers or classmates.
Social Withdrawal
Avoiding friends, loss of interest in activities they used to enjoy, isolating in their room.
Behavioral Issues
Defiance, aggression, tantrums beyond what's age-appropriate, or sudden rule-breaking.
Anxiety Signs
Excessive worry, physical complaints (stomachaches, headaches), avoidance of new situations.
