Child and Family Psychological Services
Healing Your Child, Healing Your Family
Children and teens face new challenges as the world adjusts to a new normal at home and within the school. Navigating the world for many children and adolescents has become difficult for many with problems that may have gone untreated resurfacing amid new challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cuyahoga Valley Mindful Health and Wellness offers psychological counseling services not only for children and adolescents, but also for parents. The family is a living, breathing organism that evolves and requires care and maintenance similar to your own self-care.
Family counseling services not only address the underlying concerns for your child/teen, but also can work to identify and resolve issues within the family system contributing to problems in your child's life.
Counseling is a team-based approach, and it is the passion of Cuyahoga Valley Mindful Health and Wellness to go above and beyond to not only identify, but resolve the true reasons for dysfunction within the school and at home for your child and family.
“True empathy is always free of any evaluative or diagnostic quality. This comes across to the recipient with some surprise. "If I am not being judged, perhaps I am not so evil or abnormal as I have thought.”
-Dr. Carl Rogers

Self-Worth & Procrastination in Teens & Young Adults
Self Worth Theory: The Key to Understanding & Overcoming Procrastination | Dr. Nic Voge, Princeton University, Procrastination Guru | TEDxPrincetonU
"Nearly 80% of college students report that procrastination is a significant issue for them. Procrastination is not a matter of mere “laziness” and the solution is not simply “better time management”. Could it be that procrastination is actually a highly effective strategy for self-protection and that’s why we continue to do it? In this talk, Nic unravels the surprising and perplexing motivational dynamics underlying our procrastination that lead so often to disengagement and burnout."
How To Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children | Dr. Lael Stone | TEDxDocklands
"Just for a moment, I'd like you to imagine that you are 4 years old and that you are building a tower, and you are very proud of this tower that you're building.
A kid comes by and kicks over your tower and you are feeling outraged. You feel these feelings bubbling inside you of panic, frustration, anger and helplessness.
And in that moment, an adult comes in close and says, "Honey, what happened?"
You see compassion in their eyes and feel that their body is calm and regulated.
All those feelings come bobbling, out the anger, the panic, the furstration, helplessness.
The adult says, "Yeah, tell me all about it."
They don't try to fix it, they allow you to feel all that you are feeling. They open their arms and you snuggle in, you feel better and then you get back to rebuilding your tower."
