Parents want what’s best for their children, especially during their most important stages of development. However, parenting can be a challenging job, particularly when a child experiences anxiety, struggles to adjust to tricky situations, or has trouble sleeping at night. These issues can lead to stress and frustration for both parents and children. At La Plata Family Therapy, the team understands how overwhelming these challenges can be. Jennifer Burley, a child therapist, specializes in working with children and adolescents to help them identify and build upon their strengths to overcome difficulties. By taking a strength-based approach, she empowers children to navigate their big emotions in a positive way. This approach not only fosters a positive self-image but also results in remarkable improvements in their behavior at school, home, and with friends. It’s normal for parents to feel overwhelmed when their child is struggling, but it’s important to remember that they are not alone. With the support offered at La Plata Family Therapy, families can break the cycle of meltdowns, unwanted calls from school, and feelings of helplessness. The practice provides a safe and judgment-free space for children to process their emotions, and the team is committed to assisting parents every step of the way. Families are encouraged to schedule an appointment, and Jennifer looks forward to working with them.
