Calabasas Child and Adolescent Psychology: Providing Mindfulness-Based Therapy for Children and Teens
Calabasas Child and Adolescent Psychology is a leading provider of mindfulness-based therapy for children and teens in Calabasas, California. Led by Cary Goldstein, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with children and adolescents, the practice offers a range of services to help young people struggling with anxiety, learning disabilities, behavioral issues, and more.
At Calabasas Child and Adolescent Psychology, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. We understand that growing up can be challenging at times, especially when dealing with mental health issues or other obstacles. That's why we offer compassionate care in a safe and supportive environment where children can feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Our approach to therapy is rooted in mindfulness-based techniques that have been shown to be effective in reducing stress levels, improving emotional regulation skills, enhancing cognitive functioning abilities such as attention span & memory retention among others. We work closely with each child or teen to develop an individualized treatment plan tailored specifically to their needs.
One of our primary areas of focus is anxiety disorders. Anxiety can manifest itself in many different ways - from generalized worry about everyday life events to specific phobias or panic attacks - but it always has one thing in common: it interferes with daily functioning. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) which helps clients identify negative thought patterns & behaviors that contribute towards their anxiety symptoms while teaching them coping mechanisms like relaxation techniques & breathing exercises.
We also specialize in working with children who have learning disabilities such as ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Dyslexia among others which often co-occur alongside mental health conditions like depression or anxiety disorders. Our team works collaboratively across disciplines including speech-language pathologists & occupational therapists so that we can provide comprehensive care for our clients.
In addition to individual therapy, we offer group therapy sessions for children and teens. These groups provide a supportive environment where young people can connect with others who are going through similar experiences. Group therapy can be especially helpful for those who struggle with social anxiety or have difficulty making friends.
At Calabasas Child and Adolescent Psychology, we believe that parents play an essential role in their child's mental health journey. That's why we offer parent coaching sessions to help parents better understand their child's needs and learn effective communication strategies that promote positive behavior change at home.
We also work closely with schools in the Calabasas area to provide support services such as psychoeducational assessments, classroom observations & consultations so that teachers can better understand how to support students with mental health challenges.
In conclusion, Calabasas Child and Adolescent Psychology is a leading provider of mindfulness-based therapy for children and teens in the Calabasas area. Our team of experienced therapists is dedicated to helping young people overcome mental health challenges so they can thrive both academically & socially. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, and we're here to help them do just that!
