Southern Breeze Counseling is one of the premier providers of children’s counseling in Dexter, and the rest of Southeast Missouri. We bring lifetimes of experience in the area as well as decades of expertise in Southeast Missouri schools to our goal of improving the mental health of our children.

Are you worried about your child and wondering if they can benefit from counseling? Being concerned about your child is a normal part of parenting. Sometimes a change in your child’s personality, behavior, or emotions may leave you wondering if your child needs counseling.

Every day, children are flooded with different messages on how they should act or what they should be. It can be overwhelming and confusing to grow up in today’s world, which can lead to emotional and mental difficulties. These emotional and mental difficulties can occur as a result of a traumatic event or out of the blue. Mental and emotional health is essential for children to grow and thrive.
