For younger children, I incorporate play into the sessions in order for them to feel more comfortable sharing and expressing themselves.
Working with kids age 11-17 is my favorite group of individuals because I can see the change and impact counseling has in their life, and it is a rough time in many young people's life. I work with a wide variety of individuals on either side of this age range as well. As long as there is a motivation for change to happen in a person's life, there is potential for change to occur through counseling.

Child psychologists in Texas provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results.

The best child therapists in Texas build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
