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.

Why FVCC?

  • Experienced therapists who understand kids. Many of our team members are licensed clinical social workers with school-based experience.

  • Evidence-based approaches. We use CBT, mindfulness, play-based interventions, and trauma-informed care tailored to each child.

  • Family-inclusive support. We believe children thrive best when parents feel confident and supported.
