Children commonly experience problems as they grow and mature. When a child is unresponsive to parents' attempts to help, professional intervention is warranted. Psychotherapy removes symptoms and emotional roadblocks that interfere with normal development and creates the basis for healthy life experiences.

- Handling sadness and depression
