Our Approach
Wilmington Mental Health offers therapy for children between the ages 3-12 who need assistance understanding and managing life challenges that affect their behavioral, emotional, and social functioning.
Child therapy offers multiple benefits, such as improving emotional regulation, enhancing communication and social skills, increasing self-esteem, and coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety.
