Child, Teen, & Family

Our therapists are here for you and your family.

Ideal Progress offers therapy for children and adolescents, ages 5-18 years old.

Many children and teens struggle with all the changes happening around them, including issues related to family dynamics, school pressures, peer relationships, and the ever-evolving challenges of navigating the digital world.

Your child's counselor can help them navigate changes, helping them to feel heard, understood, and empowered to take on life's challenges.

50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24.
