Exploring Telehealth for Children and Adolescents
Like with adults, Virtual Counseling feels differently to different people. Some people love it, and some folks decide that they prefer in-person sessions. Some adults progress with telehealth and some need in-person sessions to provide progressive movement. The same is true for children and adolescents. So, we encourage kids and their families to enter into the idea of telehealth with open hands. Try it out and see. Do an experiment. Then, as a team, you as the parent, together with input from your child and the therapist, can decide whether to continue using telehealth, or you can decide if in-person sessions are the better option.

Recognizing and Addressing
Depression in your Child
Depression affects children similarly to adults, with symptoms that range from the overt to the nuanced. In Roanoke, our virtual counseling services identify signs of childhood depression, which may include persistent crying, profound sadness, or less expected symptoms such as increased frustration, anger, attempts to control, and aggression. At Wyndhurst Counseling & Wellness, we create a supportive environment that enables children to articulate their complex emotions, providing a secure place to explore and express their feelings. This approach fosters a pathway toward healing and a deeper understanding of themselves.
Understanding Childhood Anxiety
Children can and do experience anxiety, which often manifests as intense nervousness or worry. Concerns can range from excessive worrying about school performance to fears about the well-being of their parents. While some children manage these concerns with relative ease, others may find their anxieties relentlessly intruding on their thoughts, making it hard to dispel these worries. Such anxieties can impact a child’s sleep quality, mood, relationships with parents, and interactions with peers.
We offer a nurturing environment where children can express their anxieties. Our team of professionals is dedicated to guiding them through these challenges, helping them start their journey towards greater emotional well-being and happiness.
