How Can a Child Psychologist Help?

Child psychologists are experts who use different types of therapy to help kids and grown-ups. They can teach kids and teens how to deal with mental health issues and everyday life.
 
Child psychologists understand kids’ and teens’ mental health needs and how friends and family can affect them. They know about important things like growth, actions, and feelings and how they change as kids grow up.
 
Going to therapy with a child psychologist can be a good idea for kids and teens. It gives them a safe place to talk about what’s going on in their life.
 
Sometimes it’s hard to know when your child or teen should see a child psychologist. Here are some signs that may mean it’s time for a visit:
