Child Psychologists and Child Therapists in Bunker Hill, TX.

Many times, child therapists overdo the family system in their quest to seek effective solutions for emotional, learning or behavioral concerns with young children. And many times doctors overpathologize issues that shouldn’t be medicated necessarily. This leaves parents wondering what is the best route for their child? Introducing brainwave optimization technology. A fast, effective, natural, and less expensive way to allow your child's brain to make the optimizing changes it desires to make---on its own! Without any external force, opinion, medication, diagnostic, etc. Contact kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.

Sometimes people perceive children to be just "little adults". The truth is that in working with children, it is important to be able to recognize where they are developmentally; socially, intellectually, physically, emotionally. In working with children and teens, I strive to match them where they are developmentally, as well as speak their language - the language of play and movement. With the help of the herd of horses with whom I partner, along with the other animals at Red Dun Ranch, rapport is quickly established. By providing an emotionally safe and physically appealing location, children and teens develop the skills to grow, learn, and develop "stable relationships".

Children, like adults, can also benefit from therapy. In a family counseling setting, IFW can help children develop problem-solving skills and also teach them the value of seeking help. IFW counselors can help children and families deal with stress and a variety of emotional and behavioral issues. We will develop an understanding about what’s happening with your child and within your family dynamics.

There’s nothing harder than being a parent and watching your child struggle. Maybe, your child is struggling with meltdowns or emotional outbursts. Or perhaps, they seem anxious or sad all the time. This leaves you feeling helpless. You’re worried about them and exhausted from trying to parent through this tough time. Their big feelings and behaviors are taking a toll on your whole family and your home is not the peaceful place you’d like it to be. We specialize in working with children and their families. We can provide coping tools to children while implementing changes in the house to help parents feel empowered.

We provide child counseling and play therapy to help children with emotional expression, coping skills, behavior change and develop healthy self-esteem. We tailor our approach to the needs of your child. Children often are not able to express what they are feeling or going through in words. Through play, children have a language to express what they are experiencing and going through. Play therapy allows children to change the way they think about, feel toward, and resolve their concerns. New skills are learned, which can be taken to the home and school environment. Parents are also taught ways to reinforce new skills at home.

Ever wish you could send your kids on a vacation…without you? Every child is a gift and a source of joy. While a parent’s love never ends, various struggles can still arise. For this reason every parent needs a little help from time to time as they strive to meet their children’s needs and strengthen their relationships. Our professional counselors can offer you the extra guidance and support you need for parenting and for your stage of family life.

As a family therapist, I find it helpful to engage the entire family in the session. This may include parents, step-parents or grandparents that are acting as primary caretakers. During the session, all family members are encouraged to participate. I engage children who lack verbal skills through games and play. This reduces anxiety for the child and promotes a therapeutic connection. Using play as a means of getting parents and children to express their feelings can supplement talk therapy and may accelerate the progress toward client driven goals.
