Our Services:

Children & Adolescents Therapy

Does your child have trouble dealing with their emotions? Is their behavior sometimes disruptive to your home or their academic life? Nothing is worse than watching our children struggle with inexplicable behaviors. Are you feeling frustrated, concerned, annoyed, overwhelmed, or worried about changes in your child’s temperament or behavior? 

As they grow, children and adolescents develop social skills and emotional intelligence. This awareness helps them to develop into healthy, happy, and successful individuals. But some children have trouble processing their emotions and this often leads to behaviors that negatively impacts their school, home life and emotional well-being.

Families Foremost Mental Health & Wellness Center at the Rio Grande Valley provides child & adolescent therapy services to help restore emotional regulation, improve their communication skills, academic functioning, enhance self-esteem, build confidence & better their relationships with family and friends.
