Desiree Svegliati, LMFT
Your mornings often begin with your child feeling anxious and overwhelmed before the day even starts. You find it hard to get moving in the morning. You’re worried about how your child does in school, with their friends and what else might go wrong. You find yourself offering reassurance, navigating irritability or emotional distress while trying to keep everything on track. Teachers report missing assignments and difficulty staying on task. Maybe there have been behavioral concerns or difficulty managing friendships. Homework becomes a source of tension. You struggle to balance offering support with encouraging independence while also wondering how much to remind, intervene or step back.
Using experiential therapy we’ll engage in creative activities, games and interactive exercises that will help your child express emotions, build self-awareness and practice coping skills. Through a strength based approach, your child will bolster social connections while fostering confidence, emotional regulation and independence.
It can be difficult to know when your child needs additional support. You may question whether their struggles are just a phase, worry about their willingness to engage in therapy or feel unsure where to begin. Reaching out doesn't require having all the answers. Schedule a free consultation to explore your concerns and determine how I can help.
