Child and Adolescent

Theta psychology is passionate about treating children and adolescents with histories of trauma and attachment difficulties. Some other issues we can help children and their caregivers with include: depression, self-harm, body image and eating issues, anxiety, perfectionism, emotion regulation and low self-esteem.

Adolescence is a particularly crucial developmental period that comes with a range of challenges. The brain is still developing and intervention may support an adolescent to develop healthily into adulthood.

Please note: Theta Psychology is not providing assessments or reports for custody/family law or legal purposes; testing and reports for autism or ADHD diagnosis; cognitive assessments; or treatment where disability is the main issue.
