Child & Adolescent Therapy

Support for Children, Teens, and the Caregivers Who Love Them

Overview

If your child or teen is struggling, it can be hard to know what to do next. Whether it’s anxiety, attention challenges, emotional outbursts, or school refusal, these struggles can leave caregivers feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and alone. You may notice behavior changes, shifts in mood, or difficulties at school and wonder—is this a phase, or something more? At Hope & Healing Counseling, we understand how deeply these questions affect families. That’s why we’re here—to walk alongside you with clarity, compassion, and expert support.

With the opening of our new Jenison, MI location, we’re expanding access to specialized mental health care for children and adolescents. Our therapy services are designed to meet young people where they are—with warmth, evidence-based strategies, and a space tailored just for them. At the same time, we support the caregivers who love them with guidance, education, and practical tools that help healing continue at home. You don’t have to navigate this alone—and you don’t have to wait to get help.

What We Help With

We work with children and adolescents facing:

Anxiety & worry
Attention & focus difficulties (ADHD)
Emotional regulation issues
Behavioral challenges
School avoidance & academic concerns
Grief & trauma
Social struggles
Life transitions (divorce, moves, loss, etc.)

Children often show emotional distress through behavior, not words. Our team helps kids build self-awareness, emotional tools, and confidence—while also supporting caregivers with education and strategies to reinforce progress at home and school.

Our therapists use developmentally appropriate, evidence-based approaches to meet children and teens where they are emotionally and cognitively. Sessions are tailored to each child’s age, personality, and needs, creating a safe space where they can express themselves, learn healthy coping skills, and grow in emotional regulation, resilience, and connection.
