Child psychology
Child psychology or childhood psychotherapy brings great benefits to the problems we already have and to avoid those that may arise in the future. Children also have problems such as stress, depression and fears, which are reflected in the body (difficulty sleeping or body aches) or in behavior (crying, anger, hyperactivity, etc.).
Reasons for starting child psychology or childhood psychotherapy treatments can stem from many different issues. Depending on the problem, the work can be done directly with the child or through different professionals who treat both parents and children. The treatment consists of finding different solutions and strategies to deal with the problems that appear in the child and in his social, family and school environment.

WHAT ARE ITS BENEFITS?
For the child's work, the problem in question will be analyzed and the appropriate treatment will be carried out. In addition to the child, the treatment will take care of the parents, the school and the other professionals who see the child (pediatricians, teachers, supervisors).
The practice of childhood psychotherapy is done through play, we all have to participate in the challenge to be able to "win". It works through games, drawings, stories and paintings.
The benefits of childhood psychotherapy are mainly twofold: children internalize changes (in reasoning, perception, ability to motivate, to deal with difficult situations, etc.), and parents are shown guidelines and techniques to deal with difficult situations.
Adolescent and Adult Psychology
The psychological work done with teenagers is often necessary to deal with the situations they experience in this complicated period; since there are great biological, psychological and social changes during adolescence. The intensities of these changes are often too challenging for teenagers. In some cases, when following this path, teenagers have crises and find themselves lost, giving way to many kinds of emotional problems; most of the time the problem is detected by looking at his mood and behavior. In such cases, the help of a professional is very beneficial to receive the skills to deal with these problems and guide the teenager. It is very important to have a comprehensive intervention, where the teenager himself, his family and the school will be taken into account.
