Children
Children are not immune to life challenges. Anxiety, trauma, depression, and behavioral problems affect millions of children today, with rates continuing to climb.
Children rely on adults to provide support when needed. Behaviors which may indicate the need for help include:
• Change in sleep patterns
• Isolation
• Loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities
• Aggression
• Uncontrollable crying
• Angry outbursts
• Wetting or soiling the bed
• Regressive behaviors
• Loss of appetite or increased appetite
• Excessive worry
• Fear of separation
• Academic decline
There is hope! Research indicates that early intervention and caregiver support are linked to positive outcomes. We are happy to answer any questions to determine if counseling would be beneficial for the child in your life.
Adolescents
Mental health among teens is a growing concern. According to the CDC, adolescents aged 12-17 years in 2018-2019 reporting on the past year:
o 15.1% had a major depressive episode.
o 36.7% had persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.
o 18.8% seriously considered attempting suicide.
Peer relationships, social media use, academic performance, and family stress are a few of the issues affecting today's teens. At Shiloh Family Counseling, teens discover that their problems matter. That they matter. Our therapists offer a safe space for teens to build resilience, cope with stress, and develop essential life skills.
Adults
Unresolved trauma, parenting, depression, anxiety, employment stress, relationships, and finances create stress that impact mental and physical health. Working with a counselor offers perspective and new patterns of thinking which can lead to a happier, healthier you.
Everyone has a story to tell. We believe that yours deserves to be heard.

Families
Our approach to family therapy is unique in that if children are involved, our therapists meet first with them and separately from caregivers. Why? Children are often intimidated by adults, may feel worried about getting in trouble at home, or are simply scared to express their views when a perceived power imbalance exists. In some cases, the child is in an abusive situation and cannot safely communicate their needs.
By meeting with children and caregivers separately, we are better equipped to conceptualize a plan which prioritizes safety in all forms.
