Child and Adolescent Therapy
Hazlet, NJ
At Positive Reset Mental Health Clinic in Hazlet, we recognize that growing up isn’t always easy. Children and teens face unique emotional, social, and academic challenges as they learn to navigate the world around them. Our child and adolescent therapy services provide compassionate, evidence-based support for young people ages 5 to 18, helping them develop healthy coping skills, emotional resilience, and stronger self-esteem.
Helping Kids and Teens Build Confidence and Resilience
Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, or behavioral struggles, our experienced therapists create a safe, welcoming space where they can process their feelings and learn strategies to succeed at home, in school, and with peers. We use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each child’s needs, such as individual counseling, family therapy, and play therapy, which is especially effective for younger children who express themselves best through creativity and play.
Our team also partners closely with parents and caregivers, ensuring families feel supported and equipped to continue growth outside of sessions. Common areas we address include:
- ADHD and attention challenges
- Social skills and peer relationships
- Bullying and low self-esteem
- Emotional regulation and behavior concerns
Beyond therapy sessions, we are committed to supporting the Positive Reset Hazlet community. We provide workshops and educational talks at schools, community groups, and local organizations on topics such as bullying prevention, emotional well-being, and fostering positive peer connections.
Why Therapy for Children and Teens Matters
Children and teens are still learning how to understand their emotions and respond to life’s stressors. Therapy provides an early, supportive intervention that helps prevent challenges from turning into long-term struggles. It empowers young people with confidence, coping skills, and resilience that last a lifetime.
How Our Child and Adolescent Therapy Works
Every child is unique, and our therapists adapt each session to meet their developmental stage and needs.
- Younger children often benefit from play therapy, where activities like drawing, games, or storytelling help them share feelings.
- Older kids and teens may benefit from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or behavioral therapy, which provide tools for managing emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
Parent involvement is central to our approach. We incorporate family therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which strengthens communication and creates healthier family dynamics. Our therapists also work with teachers and schools when needed, helping ensure children feel supported in all areas of life.
