Helping Young Minds Heal and Grow
Childhood and adolescence are filled with emotional and developmental changes. When challenges arise, whether it is behavioral, emotional, or social, early support can help overcome them. ATL Behavioral provides specialized therapy for children and teens to help them build resilience, express themselves, and feel safe and understood.
Who Do We Help?
Our child and adolescent therapy in Atlanta is designed for young people facing a range of emotional or behavioral concerns, including:
- Anxiety, excessive worry, or panic
- Depression, sadness, or withdrawal
- School-related stress or academic difficulties
- ADHD, impulsivity, or trouble focusing
- Family changes like divorce, grief of loss, or transitions
- Difficulty managing emotions or relationships
If your child is struggling with self-esteem, navigating friendships, or facing major life changes, our therapists are here to help.
We support children, preteens, and adolescents, and also work closely with caregivers to ensure support extends beyond the therapy room. Our team also has experience with court-mandated counseling, reunification therapy, and other specialized family needs.
Our Approach to Supporting Young Clients
At ATL Behavioral, we don’t just talk. We listen, observe, and engage. Our therapists use a combination of creative expression, age-appropriate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care to meet your child exactly where they are.
We focus on creating a safe space where children and teens feel seen, heard, responded to, and validated. We help them with:
- Emotional Identification: We guide perplexed or self-doubting children and teenagers to recognize and name what they are feeling: anger, sadness, worry, or confusion. This builds emotional literacy, which is a key foundation for healthy coping and communication.
- Coping Skills and Emotional Regulation: Using age-appropriate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), we teach practical tools to children for managing excessive emotions, calming anxiety, and reducing impulsive behavior. Kids learn strategies they can use at home, in school, and with peers to manage their emotions.
- Strengthening Self-Worth: Many young clients struggle with self-doubt or low confidence. Through positive reinforcement, strengths-based interventions, and skill-building, we help them develop resilience and a more compassionate view of themselves.
- Building Connection and Communication: We help improve family dynamics by teaching children how to express themselves clearly and respectfully. Sessions often include parent support to reinforce healthy boundaries, routines, and emotional connection at home.
We consider parents to be our partners while delivering teen therapy in Atlanta. We collaborate with you to understand your child’s needs, keep you informed, and equip your family with tools for ongoing growth at home.
