Child & Teen Counseling

Support for the big feelings and growing minds.

​

Growing up isn’t easy — and neither is parenting. Whether your child is having trouble at school, struggling with anxiety or behavior, or just doesn’t seem like themselves lately, it can be hard to know what to do next.

​

At The Support Circle, we specialize in providing age-appropriate, compassionate counseling for children and teens ages 3 and up. Our therapists are trained to create safe, engaging, and developmentally appropriate spaces where young people can express themselves, build coping skills, and grow through life’s challenges.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How We Help

We work with children and teens experiencing:

​

• Anxiety, stress, or excessive worry

• Sadness, low self-esteem, or withdrawal

• Anger, irritability, or behavioral concerns

• Family changes (divorce, grief, relocation, etc.)

• Social challenges or bullying

• Trauma, abuse, or difficult life events

• School struggles or emotional overwhelm

• Identity, peer pressure, or transitions into adulthood

​​

Our sessions may include talk therapy, play-based approaches, art, storytelling, or movement, depending on the age and needs of the child.

 

What to Expect

We begin by connecting with parents or caregivers to understand what’s happening and what support is needed. For younger children, we often involve caregivers in sessions or through regular check-ins. For teens, we work to build trust and offer a confidential, judgment-free space, while also collaborating with families as appropriate.

​

Our goal is to:

​

• Help kids and teens better understand their feelings

• Build healthy ways to express and regulate emotions

• Strengthen family communication

• Empower them with skills for confidence, problem-solving, and resilience

​​

We offer sessions in person at our Mobridge and Aberdeen offices, and virtually when appropriate for older youth.

 

Because children don’t always have the words, but they always have the feelings.

We’re here to help them (and you) feel more supported, connected, and equipped for what’s next.
