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.

At Southern Breeze Counseling, we match our approach to your child’s specific needs. With careful work and our experienced support, we can help children improve by:

• Reducing anxiety levels

• Reducing symptoms of depression

• Increasing self-esteem

• Building social skills

• Constructing a strong sense of self

• Creating emotional awareness and regulation

• Reducing defiant and aggressive behaviors 

• Reducing temper tantrums

• Discovering their unique strengths and positive characteristics

• Providing a safe space to explore their personalities

Sometimes, we recognize children’s mental health is related to particular circumstances. In these cases, counseling can help children better understand their negative emotions and feelings. In the safe space we create, children can learn to feel more in control, and better able to share their thoughts and emotions in a healthy way. Counseling can help children deal with issues around:

• Divorce

• Death

• Addiction

• Trauma

• Bullying

• Social anxiety

• Learning issues

• Body dysmorphia

• Self-harm 

While life is full of obstacles, we help our clients build a foundation for a lifetime of mental health.
