A therapist trained in psychotherapy for children usually treats children from age 3 to age 11.

Relationships are one of the most important aspects of our lives. We all want to feel understood by others and connected to our family and friends. What we learn about relationships, our feelings, our perceptions of others, and how we communicate is often learned from an early age and then reinforced through our life experiences.
Great relationships have clear communication, which leads to understanding and getting our needs met, to good boundaries with one another, and to an experience of empathy. People often come to therapy because one or more of their relationships are not satisfying or happy.
Together we will delve into topics to be able to discover the answers and determine methods of how to approach them in your marriage.

However, not all members of the family are always ready for the changes at the same time.
