Common Therapy Goals

Grounded in evidence-based approaches, these goals reflect the skills most linked to long-term well-being: regulation, resilience, connection, and independence.

Emotional Regulation

Developing insight and strategies to manage big feelings in ways that strengthen coping, resilience, and confidence across settings—not just in therapy.

Flexibility & Coping with Change

Building tolerance for uncertainty and smoother adjustment to transitions, so kids and teens can feel more capable when routines shift or stressors arise.

​

Healthy Routines

Reducing daily stress by shaping mealtimes, sleep, and self-care into predictable patterns that support both well-being and family harmony.

Practical Coping Skills

Moving beyond “basic strategies” to personalize mindfulness, problem-solving, and behavioral tools so kids and teens can apply them in real-life moments that matter.

Social Connection

Supporting meaningful peer relationships by practicing perspective-taking, communication skills, and flexible responses to social dynamics.

Stress & Anxiety Management

Equipping kids and teens with tools for managing school pressures, perfectionism, and social stressors, while also addressing the underlying thought patterns that fuel worry.

Identity & Independence

Providing teens with a safe space to explore identity, values, and personal goals, while strengthening autonomy and maintaining healthy family connection.

Identity & Independence

Highlighting strengths and celebrating progress to help kids and teens internalize a sense of capability, belonging, and self-worth that endures.
