COUNSELING FOR CHILDREN
In Avon & Farmington, CT and Online
Big feelings don’t have to take over your child’s life.
As a parent, it’s hard to watch your child struggle. Maybe your child is having tantrums, separation worries, or constant meltdowns at home or school. Perhaps they’ve started complaining of stomachaches or headaches, withdrawing from friends, or refusing to go to school. You’ve tried everything you can think of, but nothing seems to help—and the stress is affecting the whole family.
What you want most is for your child to feel calmer, happier, and more confident. You want them to have the tools to manage big feelings and the support to thrive socially, academically, and at home. You want reassurance that your family isn’t alone in this.
We can help.
At Farmington Valley Counseling Center, our therapists specialize in working with children who are experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, social struggles, and family stress. We know that childhood emotions can feel overwhelming for both kids and parents, and we’re here to provide relief and practical solutions.
In therapy, your child will:
Learn how to recognize and manage anxious or overwhelming feelings
Build coping skills and strategies for handling everyday challenges
Strengthen friendships, social skills, and confidence
Feel supported in a safe, encouraging environment
As a parent, you’ll receive support too. We’ll partner with you to develop strategies you can use at home, so the progress your child makes in therapy carries into daily life.
