Child and teen counseling · Myrtle Beach, SCBig feelings, small people.

Behavior, school, focus, worry, anger, sadness. Kids and teens don't always have the words, and that's exactly what counseling helps with.

How I work with kids

Sessions meet children where they are, with more play and fewer questions for the younger ones, more straight talk for teens. Parents are part of the work, always: you'll know what we're doing and how to support it at home.

I'm also certified in HypnoKids, a playful hypnotherapy approach built for children. Sometimes a child needs counseling, sometimes hypnotherapy, and often a bit of both.

Sessions

In the office in the Socastee area of Myrtle Beach, or online anywhere in South Carolina, in English or Russian.

Questions

What people ask about counseling for children and teens.

What ages do you work with?
Children and teens. Tell me your child's age and what you're seeing on the free call and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
Will I know what's discussed in my child's sessions?
You'll know what we're working on and how to help. We agree at the start how privacy works, especially with teens, so your child can trust the room and you stay informed.
