Find Support and Confidence with Youth & Adolescent Behavioral Health Counseling
Growing up today looks very different than it did even a few years ago. Students across Fayette County Public Schools and South Metro Atlanta are balancing demanding academics, the lingering effects of pandemic-era isolation, and the constant pressure of social media and screens. Many parents notice changes in their child but are unsure whether it is a phase or something that needs professional attention.
Youth and adolescent behavioral health counseling gives children and teens a safe place to talk, build coping skills, and regain their footing. It also gives parents clear guidance on how to support their child at home. Schools offer valuable counseling and prevention programs, such as Signs of Suicide (SOS) and its ACT message of Acknowledge, Care, and Tell. Yet many families still face long waitlists when they need a specialized child or adolescent therapist.
How do I know if my child needs counseling?
Every child struggles at times, but some signs deserve a closer look. These include falling grades, withdrawal from friends or activities, changes in sleep or eating, constant worry, irritability, or angry outbursts. Others include excessive time on screens, avoiding school, or talk of feeling hopeless or
worthless.
Left unaddressed, these struggles can affect a young person’s confidence, friendships, family relationships, and school performance. Early support makes a meaningful difference. With the right care, children and teens can learn to manage stress, express their feelings, and rebuild healthy routines.
Helping Children and Teens Thrive
Working with your counselor, your child or teen will complete a thorough assessment of their emotional, social, and academic needs. Treatment is individualized and may address anxiety, depression, academic pressure, social skills, healthy screen habits, bullying, and family conflict. Parents are included in the process so progress continues at home.
Our clinicians use evidence-based approaches suited to a young person’s age, including cognitive behavioral therapy, play-based techniques for younger children, and family therapy. When a child needs medication management, our team can coordinate that care. When specialized services are needed, such as pediatric neuropsychological testing or eating-disorder treatment, we help families find the right
referral and keep care connected.
At DNM Health Services, we work alongside parents and schools to help young people feel understood,
capable, and supported. Learn more about our Child & Adolescent Therapy and Bullying Counseling

If your child is in crisis or talking about self-harm, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.
