Parents across Broward County usually reach out to us with some version of the same sentence: something is off with my child and I do not know how to help. Maybe the school keeps calling. Maybe bedtime has become a nightly battle. Maybe your child is angry in a way that does not match who they have always been. Child and behavioral therapy at Challenges Conquered Counseling exists to answer that question and give you a plan.

Behavior in children is communication. A child who cannot yet explain worry, grief, or overwhelm will show it instead, through tantrums, defiance, clinginess, stomachaches, withdrawal, or trouble at school. Our job is to translate that, then teach your child better ways to handle what they are feeling.

We serve families from Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Coral Springs, Plantation, Sunrise, Davie, Hollywood, and nearby communities. Common reasons families come in include anxiety and separation difficulties, anger and emotional outbursts, behavior problems at school, adjusting to divorce or a move, the loss of a family member, and recovery after a frightening experience.

Sessions are built for how children actually communicate. Depending on age and temperament, that might be play, art, stories, or straightforward conversation. We move at your child’s pace, and we do not force a child to talk about something before they are ready.

Parents get real guidance, not vague reassurance. We share what we are noticing, give you specific strategies to use at home, and help you advocate with teachers and school staff when that is part of the picture. Families tend to see the most change when the approach at home matches the approach in session.

We meet families at 800 E Cypress Creek Rd, Suite 431 in Fort Lauderdale, an easy drive from most of Broward, and we offer secure telehealth throughout Florida for weeks when the after-school schedule makes an office visit hard. We accept many major insurance plans and will verify your coverage before the first appointment.

Trust what you are seeing at home. Request an appointment or call (954) 600-9403 and we will help you sort out what your child needs.
