Therapy can help children and adolescents of all ages—whether they are dealing with everyday stress or more serious emotional or behavioral concerns. We work with kids and teens who are experiencing:

  • Anxiety or excessive worry

  • Depression or mood swings

  • School and academic stress

  • ADHD or attention challenges

  • Social difficulties or bullying

  • Family conflict or divorce

  • Low self-esteem or identity concerns

  • Grief or loss

  • Trauma or life transitions

  • We tailor therapy based on age, developmental level, and each child’s unique personality and needs.

Compassionate Support In-Person or Through Online Therapy

Growing up isn't always easy. Children and teens face a wide range of emotional, social, academic, and behavioral challenges that can sometimes feel overwhelming—for them and their families. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, school issues, or big life changes, therapy can provide a safe space to express feelings, build healthy coping skills, and grow stronger.

At Midwest Behavioral Clinic, we offer both in-person therapy for kids and teens in Highland, Fenton, and, Grand Blanc, MI, as well as online therapy sessions that can be accessed from the comfort and privacy of home.

How Therapy Helps Children and Teens

Therapy gives children and adolescents the tools they need to better understand their emotions, build confidence, and navigate life’s ups and downs. Some of the key benefits of child and teen therapy include:

  • Learning to express thoughts and feelings in healthy ways

  • Managing anxiety, anger, and stress

  • Improving behavior and focus at home and school

  • Strengthening social skills and peer relationships

  • Building self-esteem and self-awareness

  • Helping families communicate and connect more effectively

We offer a range of approaches, including play therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and family therapy, depending on the child’s age and situation.
