Mental Health Therapy

Mental Health Therapy, also referred to as Counseling, is defined by the American Counseling Association (ACA) as “a professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals.” TheraTree provides Mental Health Therapy for both children and parents of children who receive any type of therapy at TheraTree.

How Does it Work?

Mental Health Therapy is an ongoing, collaborative process. The therapist offers a safe space for a client to feel heard without judgement or criticism. Each client will have a "hands-on" approach to creating a plan that works best for them.

The client and therapist work together to:

Decrease Depression
Reduce Stress and Anxiety
Increase Self-Esteem and Self-Worth
Develop new and strengthen existing relationships
Discover inner strengths and abilities
Identify and process negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions
Regulate mood and express emotions appropriately
Better communicate personal wants and needs
Create new habits and routines that help to feel more productive and accomplished
Regain control of your life
