CHILD PSYCHOLOGY IN MARBELLA
Child and adolescent therapy addresses emotional or psychological problems that could develop into a disorder. Our child psychologists specialize in both children and teenagers, providing parents with guidance to manage behavioral issues or psychological conditions, parenting tools, and teaching effective techniques.
Emotional development in children is crucial, as it impacts their entire life. It is essential to teach them to recognize their emotions and learn to manage them, channeling their energy appropriately.
Child psychologists are experts in understanding the development and behavior of minors. They use both individual and family therapies to assess children, diagnose, and treat social, emotional, affective, and learning-related difficulties that may arise.

CHILD AND FAMILY THERAPY
Family communication is very important. Parents need tools to manage daily parenting challenges. Common questions include: Am I doing this right? Why is my child misbehaving? How can I teach what is right or wrong? How can I help my child?
In child and adolescent therapy, both the child and their environment are evaluated. The therapist works with parents and, if necessary, schools to gather information, and with the child to understand what is happening—whether it is a psychological condition, family issue, or environmental factor affecting them.
After evaluation and diagnosis, treatment is tailored either for the child or for guiding parents, depending on the case.
Family therapy for children is a psychotherapeutic approach aimed at improving family relational dynamics and promoting well-being. It is also used to identify family problems or conflicts, improve communication, and teach parents and children how to manage difficulties effectively.
