Our bilingual therapy team would be glad to learn more about your needs and discuss how we can support you or your family. We offer compassionate therapy in Spanish and English for children, teens, adults, couples, and families in Denver, CO.
It can be very painful to watch your child suffer, especially if you don’t know exactly what the root of their distress is.
Still, after a long day at work, you may be short on patience and energy. If your child rejects all of your requests – he won’t do his homework, clean his room, or go to bed – he may not know how to respond or react. As you feel increasingly powerless to communicate with them, you may yell or say things you don’t want to say. Then perhaps your child’s terrible behavior grows increasingly out of control.
Deep down, you can feel alone and helpless. You may be afraid that you have failed as a parent.
In our hectic world, many families and children struggle to cope with this.
No matter how difficult parenting feels right now, you are not alone and you have not failed.
It is entirely possible to love your child with all your heart and feel frustrated and overwhelmed. Raising children is hard work. Today it may feel more impossible than ever.
Modern life is expensive, and both moms and dads often work at least one job. And, because divorce is so common, there are many single parents who struggle to do everything for their families. Sometimes that means that parents cannot spend as much time with their children. Children also have a lot on their plate: school, homework, extracurricular activities, social expectations, victims of bullying, technology, it all takes time.
And, especially in Spanish-speaking families, there is sometimes a significant divide between what your child sees at school and what they see at home. It may seem like your child is growing up in a completely different culture than yours, which can be confusing and even heartbreaking.
At Denver Latino Counseling, our bilingual child therapists understand that it is completely normal for children to have difficulties. Many children feel lonely, sad, anxious, and angry for a variety of reasons. Often, children do not yet know how to manage these difficult emotions in healthy ways.
Very often, children do not want to attack. They do not want to be punished, cause chaos, or, most of all, feel bad. With compassionate guidance and support from our team, your child can acquire the tools to feel calm and connected.
For more than 10 years, Denver Latino Counseling has supported Spanish- and English-speaking children in understanding their emotions and changing difficult behaviors. In safe and age-appropriate therapy sessions, our therapists help children process old hurts and develop skills to cope with life’s challenges.
Our therapists begin by creating a sense of security, compassion, fun, and play in each session. Therapy is not a place for your child to feel scolded or judged. Instead, it is a space where children can recognize their strengths and feel good about themselves.
We offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful treatment for trauma, depression, and anxiety. Because many children act out of hurt, EMDR therapy for children can be very effective in changing mood and behavior.
During therapy sessions, our therapists help children carefully explore negative thoughts and feelings about themselves, their family, and the world around them. For example, they may begin to believe that their parents do not love them, that they are not important, or that they are a “bad boy” or “bad girl.” Our team helps children understand that these beliefs are not true. Through EMDR for Kids, your child can learn to release anxiety, sadness, and emotional pain, even when those feelings come from past experiences. They can make sense of their world, change their perspective, and develop a more positive and realistic outlook.
As your child begins to establish greater self-esteem, our therapists may invite you to participate in parenting and child psychotherapy. Our team has training in attachment-focused work with children and supports families in nurturing healthier, more loving bonds. As Spanish- and English-speaking therapists, we are equipped to support families without language barriers.
From this positive foundation of healing and attachment, our therapists help children work through negative beliefs, difficult emotions, and challenging behaviors. With patience and age-appropriate techniques, including EMDR play therapy when appropriate, our team helps children recognize difficult emotions and distressing physical sensations. They can then begin to practice effective calming techniques that reduce tantrums and improve emotional regulation. With knowledge and tools, your child can gain more control over how to react to sadness, anger, and fear. And, they can acknowledge their emotions, accept them, feel them, and let them flow. Emotions are like waves that come and go. They don’t keep one. From there they can choose how to respond and behave.
No matter what you and your child are struggling with, there is help and support. Today, there are more dynamic and evidence-based child counseling tools than ever before. Our team is committed to providing a caring, understanding, and effective approach that helps children thrive.
More and more people recognize the importance of emotional health. As a result, therapy is becoming more mainstream. In your community, there are probably more parents and children in therapy than you think.
Going to therapy does not mean that something is “wrong” with you or your child. Everyone can benefit from objective and expert support when things feel difficult. You and your child deserve that support.
