What is Child Guidance?

Child guidance is a specialized area within mental health care focused on assessing, diagnosing, and treating children and adolescents’ psychological, emotional, and behavioral needs.

We take an integrated approach to care, addressing not only the child’s symptoms but also considering their family dynamics, social environment, psychological profile, medical and psychiatric disorders, and developmental stage.

Comprehensive Assessment

Our Child Guidance Clinic begins with a comprehensive assessment to gain a thorough understanding of your child’s strengths, challenges, and areas for growth.

This assessment may include interviews with parents and caregivers, observations of the child’s behaviour, and standardized psychological testing.

Our goal is to identify any underlying issues or concerns that may be impacting your child’s well-being and development.

Evidence-Based Interventions

At Al Soor Specialist Clinic, we utilize evidence-based interventions that have proven effective in helping children and adolescents overcome various mental health challenges.

Our professionals are trained in various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), play therapy, family therapy, and social skills training.
