Childhood Behavioral Issues Counseling in Logan, Utah
Compassionate Support for Children and Families in Logan, Utah & Surrounding Areas
Childhood is a time of growth, discovery, and learning—but for many families, it can also be a time filled with emotional and behavioral challenges. At Peak Mental Health, we specialize in helping children navigate behavioral issues with evidence-based counseling and family-centered strategies. Our therapists support children and parents throughout Cache County, Logan UT, Garden City UT, Pocatello ID, Preston ID, and Southeast Idaho, providing practical tools that strengthen emotional regulation, communication, and healthy behavior patterns.
​
Whether your child is struggling with anger outbursts, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, ADHD-related behaviors, social difficulties, or classroom challenges, our team is here to help your family feel supported, understood, and empowered.
Understanding Childhood Behavioral Issues
Children often express emotional distress through their actions. While occasional misbehavior is normal, persistent patterns of tantrums, aggression, impulsivity, defiance, withdrawal, or anxiety may indicate deeper behavioral or emotional needs. Addressing these issues early can greatly improve a child’s long-term wellbeing, relationships, and academic success.
Common childhood behavioral issues we treat include:
​
-
Anger and emotional outbursts
-
Impulsivity and difficulty focusing
-
Oppositional behavior or defiance
-
Social struggles and peer conflict
-
Tantrums beyond the expected developmental stage
-
Difficulty regulating emotions
-
Aggression or destructive behavior
-
Anxiety-related behavioral patterns
-
School behavior problems or discipline challenges
​
Parents often come to us when they feel overwhelmed, unsure how to respond, or when classroom concerns begin to escalate. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where children can build coping skills while parents receive guidance tailored to their family.
Signs Your Child May Benefit from Counseling
Every child is unique, but certain behaviors may indicate the need for professional support. You may want to consider therapy if your child:
​
-
Has frequent meltdowns, tantrums, or anger outbursts
-
Struggles with listening, following directions, or completing tasks
-
Shows persistent defiant or oppositional behavior
-
Has difficulty making or keeping friends
-
Displays sudden changes in mood, appetite, or sleep
-
Has ongoing issues with anxiety, fears, or emotional overwhelm
-
Shows impulsive or risky behaviors
-
Experiences academic struggles connected to behavior
-
Appears increasingly withdrawn or socially disconnected
​
Parents often say they waited because they hoped their child would “grow out of it.” But early support can reduce long-term stress and give children the tools to thrive at home, school, and in their relationships.
​
Our Approach to Childhood Behavioral Therapy
At Peak Mental Health, we use age-appropriate, evidence-based techniques to help children learn how to understand their emotions and express themselves in healthy ways. Therapy sessions may include:
​
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Children
Helps kids identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while learning coping skills, problem-solving, and emotional regulation.
​
Play Therapy Techniques
Especially helpful for younger children, play-based methods allow them to express feelings through games, activities, and creative expression.
​
Behavioral Therapy and Skill-Building
Children learn practical tools to improve listening, following directions, reducing impulsivity, and managing frustration.
​
Parent Coaching & Family Support
We help parents understand behavior patterns, strengthen communication, and use consistent strategies at home.
​
Support for ADHD & Impulse Control
Behavioral techniques help children build focus, reduce impulsive behaviors, and succeed in school environments.
​
Therapy for Anxiety, Social Struggles & Emotional Regulation
Many behavior issues are rooted in anxiety or emotional overwhelm. We help children recognize and manage those feelings.
​
Trauma-Informed Care
For children whose behavior stems from stress, trauma, or life transitions, our therapists provide safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate support.
​
Our therapists collaborate closely with parents, teachers, and caregivers when appropriate, ensuring a consistent approach across all environments where a child interacts.
