Child and Adolescent Therapy
Manalapan, NJ
At Positive Reset Mental Health Clinic in Manalapan, we understand that children and teens face unique challenges as they grow and navigate their emotions, relationships, and the world around them. Our child and adolescent therapy services offer compassionate, evidence-based support for young people ages 5 to 18, helping them build emotional strength, resilience, and healthy coping skills.
Helping Young Minds Grow Stronger, One Step at a Time
Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, attention difficulties, or behavioral challenges, our skilled therapists create a safe, nurturing space where they can explore feelings and develop the tools to thrive—both at home and at school. We use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each child’s age and needs, including individual counseling, family therapy, and play therapy, which is especially effective for younger children who express themselves best through creative activities and imaginative play.
Our team collaborates closely with families, ensuring parents are involved and supported throughout the process to reinforce growth beyond therapy sessions. We also provide counseling for common concerns such as:
- ADHD and learning differences
- Social skills and behavioral challenges
- Bullying and self-esteem issues
- Body image and peer relationships
Beyond therapy, we are committed to community education, offering workshops and talks at local schools, community centers, and synagogues on important topics like bullying prevention, emotional wellness, and building healthy relationships.
Why Child and Adolescent Therapy Matters
Children and teens are still learning to understand their emotions and manage the stressors they encounter daily. Early therapeutic intervention can make a profound difference by providing them with a supportive space to process their feelings, learn positive coping strategies, and build self-confidence. Therapy helps prevent challenges from escalating into more serious mental health concerns and empowers young people with skills that last a lifetime.
How Child and Adolescent Therapy Works
Our therapists tailor each session to fit the unique needs and developmental stage of your child. Younger children often benefit from play therapy, where expressive activities help them communicate feelings they may not have words for yet. Older children and teens may work with cognitive-behavioral techniques or behavioral therapy to better manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Parent involvement is a key part of our approach, including family therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), which strengthens communication and nurtures healthier relationships at home. Our therapists also partner with schools and other caregivers to create a supportive environment for your child’s overall growth.
