Children and adolescents experience a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty regulating emotions, and challenges with impulse control. These issues make it difficult to deal with unfortunate but common factors, like family or sibling conflict, parental divorce, or unexpected loss. Many children respond to these issues and factors with less-than-desirable behaviors, such as electronic/video game addiction, educational challenges, difficulty making friends, substance abuse issues, or destructive and defiant behaviors. View 12 Photos At CACTS Counseling, we help children and adolescents understand and manage these challenges through therapy, education, and other supportive tools and services. CACTS Counseling also offers support for adolescents dealing with the stressors that come with transitioning into adulthood (ages 18-25). CACTS providers will develop a unique approach to treating and supporting each individual need, through assessment and therapeutic intervention techniques. Our goal is to help children, parents, and families minimize stress and frustration, as they develop healthy and productive practices that lead them down the path of living their best lives.
