Terapia para niños

¿Está preocupado por el estado de ánimo, el comportamiento y el bienestar general de su hijo?

¿Está su hijo, desafiando , respondiendo y negándose a seguir las reglas en el hogar o la escuela?
¿Ha estado peleando con hermanos y / o compañeros de clase?
¿Sospecha o sabe que su hijo ha estado autolesionándose o cortandose?
¿Le preocupa que su hijo tenga dificultades para adaptarse a un divorcio, pérdida u otro cambio significativo?
Debajo de toda la agresión y el desafío, ¿está claro que su hijo se siente perdido y herido?
¿Está buscando un psicoterapeuta para niños que pueda ayudarlo a conectarse con su hijo, comprender lo que está pasando y encontrar formas sostenibles de ayudarlo a encontrar alivio?

Puede ser muy doloroso ver sufrir a su hijo, especialmente si no sabe exactamente cuál es la raíz de su angustia.

Aún así, después de un largo día de trabajo, es posible que tenga poca paciencia y energía. Si su hijo rechaza todas sus solicitudes -no hará su tarea, no limpiará su habitación ni se irá a la cama-, es posible que no sepa cómo responder o reaccionar. A medida que se sienta cada vez más impotente para comunicarse con ellos, puede gritar o decir cosas que no quiere decir. Entonces, tal vez el comportamiento preocupante de su hijo crezca cada vez más fuera de control.

En el fondo, puedes sentirte solo e indefenso. Puede que tenga miedo de haber fallado como madre o padre.

¿Qué pasa si algo está realmente, realmente mal?

En nuestro agitado mundo, muchas familias y niños luchan para lidiar con esto

No importa cuán difícil se sienta la crianza en este momento, no estás solo y no has fallado.

Es completamente posible amar a su hijo con todo su corazón y sentirse frustrado y abrumado. Criar a los hijos es un trabajo difícil. Hoy puede sentirse más imposible que nunca.

La vida moderna es costosa, y tanto las mamás como los papás a menudo trabajan al menos un trabajo. Y, debido a que el divorcio es tan común, hay muchos padres solteros que luchan por hacer todo por sus familias. A veces, eso significa que los padres no pueden pasar tanto tiempo con sus hijos. Los niños también tienen mucho en su plato: la escuela, las tareas, las actividades extracurriculares, las expectativas sociales, víctimas de bullying, la tecnología, todo lleva tiempo.

Y, especialmente en las familias que hablan español, a veces existe una división importante entre lo que su hijo ve en la escuela y lo que ven en casa. Puede parecer que su hijo está creciendo en una cultura completamente diferente a la suya, lo que puede ser confuso e incluso desgarrador.

Finalmente, como madre y psicoterapeuta de niños estoy altamente capacitada, y puedo asegurarle que es completamente normal que los niños tengan dificultades. Muchos niños se sienten solos, tristes, ansiosos y enojados por una variedad de razones. Y, generalmente, los niños no saben cómo manejar estas emociones difíciles de manera saludable.

Muy a menudo, los niños no quieren atacar. No quieren ser castigados, causar caos o, sobre todo, sentirse mal. Afortunadamente, con mi orientación y apoyo, su hijo puede adquirir las herramientas necesarias para sentirse tranquilo y conectado.

Los servicios bilingües de terapia para niños pueden ayudar a su hijo a sanar y crecer

He estado ayudando a niños que hablan español o inglés a comprender sus emociones y cambiar comportamientos durante más de 10 años. En sesiones de terapia seguras y apropiadas para la edad, puedo ayudar a su hijo a liberar viejas heridas y desarrollar habilidades para enfrentar los desafíos de la vida.

Inicialmente, me enfoco en crear una sensación de seguridad, compasión y sobretodo diversión y juego en la sesión. La terapia no es un lugar para que su hijo se sienta regañado o juzgado. En cambio, estoy aquí para ayudarlos a reconocer sus fortalezas y sentirse bien consigo mismos.

Me especializo en Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), un poderoso tratamiento para el trauma, la depresión y la ansiedad. Debido a que muchos niños actúan porque se sienten heridos, la terapia EMDR para niños puede ser muy efectiva para cambiar el estado de ánimo y el comportamiento.

Durante nuestras sesiones juntos, puedo ayudar a su hijo a explorar cuidadosamente los pensamientos y sentimientos negativos sobre ellos mismos, su familia y cualquier otra cosa en su mundo. Por ejemplo, pueden generar creencias de que sus padres no los amen, de que no son importantes o de ser un “chico malo”. Les ayudare a darse cuenta que estas creencias no son ciertas. Luego, a través de EMDR para niños, su hijo puede aprender a liberar cualquier ansiedad, tristeza y dolor, incluso si proviene del pasado. Pueden dar sentido a su mundo, cambiar su perspectiva y tener una perspectiva más positiva y realista.

Una vez que su hijo comience a establecer una mayor autoestima, lo invitaré a que se una a nosotros en la psicoterapia de padres y niños. He sido ampliamente entrenado para trabajar con el apego en niños, y estoy aquí para ayudar a su familia a nutrir un vínculo saludable y amoroso. Y, como terapeuta que habla español o inglés, estoy equipada para apoyar a las familias sin barreras de idioma

A partir de esta base positiva de sanación y apego, comenzaré a centrarme en cambiar las creencias negativas, emociones y de ahí el comportamientos de su hijo. Con paciencia y técnicas apropiadas para la edad, como la terapia de juego con EMDR ayudaré a su hijo a reconocer las emociones difíciles y las sensaciones físicas angustiosas. Luego, pueden comenzar a practicar técnicas efectivas de calma que evitan los berrinches. Con conocimiento y herramientas, su hijo puede obtener más control sobre cómo reaccionar ante la tristeza, la ira y el miedo. Y, pueden reconocer sus emociones, aceptarlas, sentirlas y dejar que fluyan. Las emociones son como olas que vienen y se van. No se quedan con uno. De ahí pueden elegir cómo responder y comportarse.

No importa con lo que usted y su hijo estén luchando, hay ayuda y apoyo. Hoy en día, existen herramientas de asesoramiento infantil más dinámicas y basadas en evidencia como nunca antes. Me comprometo a utilizar el enfoque cuidadoso, comprensivo y efectivo para ayudar a su hijo a prosperar.

Puede tener preguntas o inquietudes sobre la psicoterapia para niños …

Mi familia no tiene tiempo para terapia.

Al igual que muchos otros, probablemente esté equilibrando un millón de responsabilidades diferentes para mantener a su familia. Como padre y profesional, entiendo completamente lo difícil y agotador que puede ser un horario lleno.

Pero, si se siente desconectado y al borde de sus límites, le recomiendo encarecidamente que haga de la terapia para niños una prioridad. El bienestar emocional de su hijo es extremadamente importante. Buscar ayuda ahora puede brindarle a su hijo un futuro más saludable, más seguro, con más libertad y opciones

La psicoterapia para niños es demasiado costosa.

Actualmente acepto Medicaid. Incluso si no califica para recibir asistencia, cualquier inversión en el bienestar mental y físico de su hijo no es un desperdicio. Aprender cómo controlar las emociones ahora garantiza que su hijo tenga un futuro más exitoso, en todos los sentidos.

Me preocupa que mi familia sea juzgada por buscar terapia.

Cada vez más personas reconocen la importancia de la salud emocional. Como resultado, la terapia se está volviendo más convencional. En su comunidad, probablemente haya más padres e hijos en terapia de lo que cree.

Ir a la terapia no significa que algo esté “mal” con usted o su hijo. Todos pueden beneficiarse de un apoyo objetivo y experto cuando las cosas se sienten difíciles. Usted y su hijo merecen ese apoyo.

Encuentre apoyo para usted y su hijo

Ni usted, ni su hijo tienen que seguir luchando, y no tiene que hacer esto solo. Los invito a que me llamen al 720-276-9188. Me gustaría conocer y discutir cómo puedo ayudar a su hijo. Soy un terapeuta bilingüe que ofrece servicios de terapia para niños en español e inglés.

Therapy for children

Are you concerned about your child’s mood, behavior, and general well-being?

Is your child challenging, responding, and refusing to follow the rules at home or school?
Have you been fighting with siblings and / or classmates?
Do you suspect or know that your child has been self-harming or cutting himself?
Are you worried that your child is having a hard time adjusting to a divorce, loss, or other significant change?
Beneath all the aggression and defiance, is it clear that your child is feeling lost and hurt?
Are you looking for a child psychotherapist who can help you connect with your child, understand what is going on, and find sustainable ways to help him find relief?

It can be very painful to watch your child suffer, especially if you don’t know exactly what the root of their distress is.

Still, after a long day at work, you may be short on patience and energy. If your child rejects all of your requests – he won’t do his homework, clean his room, or go to bed – he may not know how to respond or react. As you feel increasingly powerless to communicate with them, you may yell or say things you don’t want to say. Then perhaps your child’s worrisome behavior grows increasingly out of control.

Deep down, you can feel alone and helpless. You may be afraid that you have failed as a parent.

What if something is really, really wrong?

In our hectic world, many families and children struggle to cope with this.

No matter how difficult parenting feels right now, you are not alone and you have not failed.

It is entirely possible to love your child with all your heart and feel frustrated and overwhelmed. Raising children is hard work. Today it may feel more impossible than ever.

Modern life is expensive, and both moms and dads often work at least one job. And, because divorce is so common, there are many single parents who struggle to do everything for their families. Sometimes that means that parents cannot spend as much time with their children. Children also have a lot on their plate: school, homework, extracurricular activities, social expectations, victims of bullying, technology, it all takes time.

And, especially in Spanish-speaking families, there is sometimes a significant divide between what your child sees at school and what they see at home. It may seem like your child is growing up in a completely different culture than yours, which can be confusing and even heartbreaking.

Finally, as a mother and child psychotherapist I am highly trained, and I can assure you that it is completely normal for children to have difficulties. Many children feel lonely, sad, anxious, and angry for a variety of reasons. And, generally, children do not know how to handle these difficult emotions in a healthy way.

Very often, children do not want to attack. They don’t want to be punished, cause chaos or, most of all, feel bad. Fortunately, with my guidance and support, your child can acquire the tools to feel calm and connected.

Bilingual child therapy services can help your child heal and grow

I have been helping Spanish or English speaking children understand their emotions and change behaviors for over 10 years. In safe and age-appropriate therapy sessions, I can help your child release old hurts and develop skills to cope with life’s challenges.

Initially, I focus on creating a sense of security, compassion and most of all fun and play in the session. Therapy is not a place for your child to feel scolded or judged. Instead, I am here to help you recognize your strengths and feel good about yourself.

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful treatment for trauma, depression, and anxiety. Because many children act out of hurt, EMDR therapy for children can be very effective in changing mood and behavior.

During our sessions together, I can help your child carefully explore negative thoughts and feelings about themselves, their family, and anything else in their world. For example, they may create beliefs that their parents do not love them, that they are not important, or that they are a “bad boy.” I will help you realize that these beliefs are not true. Then, through EMDR for Kids, your child can learn to release any anxiety, sadness, and pain, even if it comes from the past. They can make sense of their world, change their perspective, and have a more positive and realistic outlook.

Once your child begins to establish greater self-esteem, I will invite you to join us in parenting and child psychotherapy. I have been extensively trained to work with attachment in children, and I am here to help your family nurture a healthy and loving bond. And, as a Spanish or English speaking therapist, I am equipped to support families without language barriers.

From this positive foundation of healing and attachment, I will begin to focus on changing negative beliefs, emotions and hence the behaviors of your child. With patience and age-appropriate techniques like EMDR play therapy I will help your child recognize difficult emotions and distressing physical sensations. Then they can begin to practice effective calming techniques that prevent tantrums. With knowledge and tools, your child can gain more control over how to react to sadness, anger, and fear. And, they can acknowledge their emotions, accept them, feel them, and let them flow. Emotions are like waves that come and go. They don’t keep one. From there they can choose how to respond and behave.

No matter what you and your child are struggling with, there is help and support. Today, there are more dynamic and evidence-based child counseling tools than ever before. I am committed to using a caring, understanding, and effective approach to help your child thrive.

You may have questions or concerns about child psychotherapy …

My family has no time for therapy.

Like many others, you are probably balancing a million different responsibilities to support your family. As a parent and professional, I fully understand how difficult and exhausting a busy schedule can be.

But, if you feel disconnected and on the edge of your limits, I highly recommend that you make therapy for children a priority. Your child’s emotional well-being is extremely important. Seeking help now can give your child a healthier, safer future, with more freedom and options

Psychotherapy for children is too expensive.

More and more people recognize the importance of emotional health. As a result, therapy is becoming more mainstream. In your community, there are probably more parents and children in therapy than you think.

Going to therapy does not mean that something is “wrong” with you or your child. Everyone can benefit from objective and expert support when things feel difficult. You and your child deserve that support.
