Does your pr***en seem anxious, overwhelmed, or suddenly harder to reach?

Hi, I’m Juli Hindsley, and I specialize in helping school-age children navigate big emotions, school stress, and social pressure.

Parenting a pr***en can feel confusing. One day they seem fine. The next, they’re shutting down, acting out, or melting down over something that feels small.

You may notice your child is:
• Anxious about school
• Struggling with friendships
• Acting differently at home than at school
• Holding everything together — until they can’t

At Child & Family Therapy Center, we help children understand their emotions, build confidence, and develop coping skills that actually work in real life.

Our team supports families facing:
✔ Anxiety
✔ School-based stress
✔ Social challenges
✔ Behavioral concerns

You don’t have to wait until things get worse.

Early support can make a lasting difference, not just for your child, but for your whole family.

👉 Send us a message today to see how we can help!

The impact from hurricane Helene will, sadly, continue to permeate our Tampa Bay community for months and years to come. While so many of our families experienced the direct impact of this terrible storm, children who were not directly impacted may have trauma-like symptoms as well. Check out our recent blog post for how to spot signs of trauma in children, and reach out to Child and Family Therapy Center for any type of support. We are here for you, in any way.

Child therapist Juli Hindsley discusses the impact of non-violent trauma from natural disasters on children's emotional well-being.
