Behavioral Health Services Helps Children With Social, Emotional or Learning Needs

Comprehensive Rehab offers Behavioral Health Services proven to help children with their social, emotional or learning needs. 

According to the CDC, “Mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders in childhood can cause long-term problems that may affect the health and well-being of children, families, and communities.”

Counseling and therapy sessions are designed to help a child manage their symptoms and behaviors so they can function well at home, in school and in their community. Read our Case Study about Noah, an aggressive 7-year old.

At Comprehensive Rehab, play therapy is used. Play is a natural form of expression for children. Children who are struggling may not have the language to convey their feelings or situations; therefore, play gives them an outlet for expression. Play therapy consists of non-directive play, art, music, movement, storytelling, bibliotherapy and sand tray.

In addition to play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness are used in counseling sessions.
