Therapy For Children in Spanish in Denver, CO

Therapy For Children in Spanish in Denver, CO

  • 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 therapist 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 terrible 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 Wrong With Your Child? Therapy for Children Can Help!

    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 manage 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 Therapy For Children 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 focused 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.

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

I currently accept Medicaid. Even if you do not qualify for assistance, any investment in your child’s mental and physical well-being is not a waste. Learning how to control emotions now ensures that your child has a more successful future, in every way.

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.

Neither you nor your child have to keep fighting, and you don’t have to do this alone. I invite you to call me at 720-276-9188. I would like to meet and discuss how I can help your child. I am a bilingual therapist offering therapy services for children in Spanish and English.
