Therapy For Children in Spanish in Denver, CO

What if Something is Really Wrong With Your Child? Therapy for Children Can Help!

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.

Finally, as a mother and child psychotherapist, I am highly trained, and I can assure you that it is completely normal for children to have difficulties. Many children feel lonely, sad, anxious, and angry for a variety of reasons. And, generally, children do not know how to manage these difficult emotions in a healthy way.

Very often, children do not want to attack. They don't want to be punished, cause chaos, or, most of all, feel bad. Fortunately, with my guidance and support, your child can acquire the tools to feel calm and connected.



Bilingual Therapy For Children Services Can Help Your Child Heal and Grow

I have been helping Spanish or English-speaking children understand their emotions and change behaviors for over 10 years. In safe and age-appropriate therapy sessions, I can help your child release old hurts and develop skills to cope with life's challenges.

Initially, I focused on creating a sense of security, compassion, and most of all fun and play in the session. Therapy is not a place for your child to feel scolded or judged. Instead, I am here to help you recognize your strengths and feel good about yourself.

I specialize in 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 For Children in Spanish

During our sessions together, I can help your child carefully explore negative thoughts and feelings about themselves, their family, and anything else in their world. For example, they may create beliefs that their parents do not love them, that they are not important, or that they are a “bad boy.” I will help you realize that these beliefs are not true. Then, through EMDR for Kids, your child can learn to release any anxiety, sadness, and pain, even if it comes from the past. They can make sense of their world, change their perspective, and have a more positive and realistic outlook.

Once your child begins to establish greater self-esteem, I will invite you to join us in parenting and child psychotherapy. I have been extensively trained to work with attachment in children, and I am here to help your family nurture a healthy and loving bond. And, as a Spanish or English-speaking therapist, I am equipped to support families without language barriers.

From this positive foundation of healing and attachment, I will begin to focus on changing negative beliefs, emotions, and hence the behaviors of your child. With patience and age-appropriate techniques like EMDR play therapy, I will help your child recognize difficult emotions and distressing physical sensations. Then they can begin to practice effective calming techniques that prevent tantrums. 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. I am committed to using a caring, understanding, and effective approach to help your child thrive.

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.

Neither you nor your child have to keep fighting, and you don’t have to do this alone. I invite you to call me at 720-276-9188. I would like to meet and discuss how I can help your child. I am a bilingual therapist offering therapy services for children in Spanish and English.

I currently accept Medicaid. Even if you do not qualify for assistance, any investment in your child’s mental and physical well-being is not a waste. Learning how to control emotions now ensures that your child has a more successful future, in every way.

Like many others, you are probably balancing a million different responsibilities to support your family. As a parent and professional, I fully understand how difficult and exhausting a busy schedule can be.

But, if you feel disconnected and on the edge of your limits, I highly recommend that you make therapy for children a priority. Your child’s emotional well-being is extremely important. Seeking help now can give your child a healthier, safer future, with more freedom and options
