Understanding Child Psychological Assessment & Psychotherapy

Show signs of anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders.
Have difficulty in social interactions or exhibit aggressive behaviors.
Struggle academically without a clear reason.
Have experienced trauma or significant life changes.

Why is it Needed?

Provide a clearer understanding of a child's needs.
Offer tailored strategies and interventions to support the child's well-being.
Help the child develop coping mechanisms and resilience.
