A MESSAGE FROM COURTNEY

Parenting is incredibly rewarding but at times can be overwhelming and full of challenges!

We enter into the role of parenthood wanting to provide our child with every opportunity to be confident, connected and happy, and sometimes we see that, despite our best efforts, our child’s needs require additional attention and support.

Perhaps your child is struggling with anxiety, school concerns, social skill deficits, or anger management concerns that decrease their sense of self and also influence their school experience, peer relationships, and family interactions.

No doubt this amplifies the worries you have and may leave you unsure of what the root issue is or how to best support them.

I’m Courtney Johns, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at Kid Matters Counseling. I offer a safe space where your child can learn to navigate their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and equip parents with tools to support their child in the home.
