If your child is dealing with emotional or behavioral problems, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to face them alone. At Advanced Bilingual Counseling in Houston, we know how disheartening it can feel when your child is acting out, withdrawing, or simply not acting like themselves. From tantrums to anxiety, social struggles, or new behavior concerns, an empathetic and highly trained bilingual child therapist can help you restore equilibrium and a sense of connection.
We offer children’s counseling in both English and Spanish, ensuring that kids feel safe, understood, and encouraged in the language that’s most comfortable for them. Along the way, parents are also supported, receiving essential tools and advice on how to guide their children through life’s challenges, while building a stronger relationship with them. Whether you’re seeking therapy for growing pains or unaddressed trauma, our staff is here to provide everything your child needs—not only to heal but to thrive.
It’s not always obvious when your child needs therapeutic support. Children often exhibit emotional struggles through their behavior, and these signals can be confusing or frustrating for parents. You might notice your once-cheerful child becoming restless, irritable, or standoffish. Maybe teachers have raised concerns, or you’ve found yourself worn down by repeated meltdowns and instances of defiance. At Advanced Bilingual Counseling, we look beneath the surface to understand the emotions driving these behaviors and give children healthier ways to cope with them.
We’re proud to provide therapy in both English and Spanish. We understand the importance of children and families being able to communicate in a language that allows them to express themselves fully. Our bilingual child therapists work hard to create a culturally sensitive and uplifting environment, so kids feel understood and parents feel included.
Our team works with children ages 3–17 on a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including:
Whatever your child might be struggling with, our Houston clinic offers individualized behavioral therapy designed to meet them exactly where they are in life.
Child behavioral therapy is a type of counseling that helps children recognize, understand, and manage their emotions and behaviors in healthier ways. Sessions often blend play therapy, talk therapy, and family involvement, creating a safe, engaging space where children can learn and grow.
Supports children as they identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, develop coping methods, and manage challenges like anxiety, anger, or sadness.
Encourages kids to build resilience and take positive steps toward their goals.
Helps children process and heal from difficult or traumatic experiences through an innovative method of bilateral stimulation.
Utilizes creative, age-appropriate techniques to help children express their feelings with toys, games, and other activities when words seem insufficient.
At Advanced Bilingual Counseling, every plan for children’s counseling is personalized to their age, developmental stage, and personality. Whether your child is coping with anxiety, ADHD, frequent outbursts, or other issues, we focus on practical strategies that empower children and their entire family.
When your child begins therapy with us, you can expect compassionate care and a collaborative approach. During the first few sessions, we’ll take time to understand your child’s needs, your concerns as a parent, and the family’s interpersonal dynamics. From there, we create a customized treatment plan with specific objectives. That way, everyone has something concrete to work towards and can clearly see the progress being made.
Advanced Bilingual Counseling ensures that parents and caregivers are actively involved in the process. We’ll equip you with all the guidance and resources you need to feel confident supporting your child at home. In some instances, our therapists may also coordinate with teachers or pediatricians to establish a consistent support system across every aspect of your child’s routine.
Our child therapists are fluent in both English and Spanish, ensuring that kids and parents can communicate comfortably in the language they prefer.
We honor your family’s culture, values, and traditions, incorporating them into therapy so your child feels truly understood.
Our experts rely on evidence-based treatments like CBT, ACT, EMDR, and play-based techniques.
We believe parents play a key role in their child’s therapeutic progress, and we’ll make sure you feel heard and supported as well.
Our Houston office also offers secure teletherapy options across Texas, making care more convenient for busy families.
Watching your child struggle can be heartbreaking. It’s natural to feel guilt, worry, frustration, and to wonder if you’re doing enough. At Advanced Bilingual Counseling, we remind parents that reaching out for help is an act of strength, not a sign of failure. Through children’s counseling, many parents discover a new level of confidence and peace of mind, along with practical methods for supporting their child through daily life. We’re here to make sure both kids and their parents have a mental health network they can always rely on.
Searching for child behavioral therapy in Houston designed for the whole family? We welcome you to get in touch and begin building a foundation for lasting positive change.
Children may need help when emotions like worry, sadness, or anger begin to affect their overall behavior. Counseling can be helpful for conditions such as ADHD, anxiety, or trauma, or for processing significant life changes, like relocations, divorce, school struggles, or a death in the family.
We begin by creating a literal and figurative space of trust where your child feels safe to share. Depending on their age and personality, we’ll use play, art, stories, or talk-based therapy, along with family involvement. These methods allow children to learn emotion regulation, social skills, and problem-solving in ways that feel natural.
It’s common for children to feel unsure at first. Our skilled therapists use their expertise, coupled with fun activities, to make sessions feel engaging and welcoming. In time, many kids come to appreciate having a place where they can express themselves freely.
You are a crucial part of your child’s journey. We’ll involve you in every part of the process, so you can understand what your child is learning and better support them at home and school.
Every child is different. Progress depends on the challenges they’re facing, how often sessions occur, and how soon new strategies are practiced outside therapy. Many families notice subtle shifts in behavior and mood after the first few months, with further growth as treatment progresses.
Have you been worried about your child’s behavior, emotions, or personal well-being? Don’t hesitate to get in touch. Early intervention is key to stopping negative patterns before they worsen.
