Caring for Your Child: Mental Health Services from OC Teen Center

We offer mental health services for children. We care a lot about kids here at OC Teen Center.

It is important to care for your child’s mental health. If you notice any symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mental illnesses in your child, it is a good idea to seek help from an organization like OC Teen Center. We offer a wide range of services and programs that can provide relief for children who are struggling with their mental health. In this blog post we will outline the different types of treatment options available at our center and show how they can be beneficial for children.

  • We also offer group therapy and family support services. These types of treatment programs are great for relieving stress in the home environment.
  • OC Teen Center offers one-on-one counseling sessions that can be helpful when a child is struggling with any mental illness or other emotional issues related to their life. This type of personal attention will take some of the mystery out of what is going on, and give both you and your child more peace of mind.
  • Group therapy is a great way to relieve stress for both the child and their family. When your child talks about what they are going through, it can help them feel less alone in tackling these challenges. It can also be helpful because there will be others at the group who are experiencing similar things.

  • Family support services offer a new perspective on what has been going on. There are solutions and coping skills available to you that you might not have thought of before.
  • Individual therapy gives your child a place to talk about their feelings, and find the courage they need to face these challenges. They will develop an understanding of how to handle difficult situations going forward as well. Our therapists are licensed by the state of California and have many years of experience.

Some children are resistant to therapy. They may not want to go because they don’t know what to expect. It can be helpful for you as the parent or guardian of your child if you come with them. This will help reassure them and show that it is safe for their feelings to be shared in a private space, where nobody else will judge them or tell someone about this.

If your child is resistant to getting help, share this article with them to read the benefits of therapy. And if that doesn’t work, you can try a “talk-therapy lite” approach:

Ask your child what they want to talk about and then listen without judgment or interruption. If there are any questions as you go along, don’t just answer immediately. Reflect the question back to them and allow them to think it through again.
