If your child has seemed more anxious, emotional, withdrawn, reactive, or overwhelmed lately… you’re not alone.
Sometimes children don’t have the words to explain what’s happening inside of them.
Instead, it shows up through:
emotional outbursts
behavioral changes
school struggles
increased anxiety
shutting down
clinginess
irritability
loss of confidence
And as a parent, it can be hard to know what’s “normal,” what needs support, or how to help without making your child feel ashamed or singled out.
We’re honored to introduce Sylvia Ackroyd Garcia, LPC — now accepting children, teens, young adults, and families at Thrive Counseling & Wellness.
Sylvia brings a warm, relational, and developmentally informed approach to therapy, helping children feel safe, understood, and emotionally supported while also walking alongside parents with compassion and guidance.
Her work integrates:
Play Therapy
CBT
Trauma-Informed Care
Strengths-Based Approaches
Family Support
Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, school stress, family transitions, behavioral concerns, or confidence, Sylvia creates a calm and supportive space where healing and growth can begin.
Because children often communicate through behavior long before they can explain what they’re feeling.
Now accepting new child and adolescent clients.
