Anger outbursts
Explosive reactions, hard recoveries, or frustration that overwhelms the child and family.
Child behavior support that looks beneath the pattern.
Therapy and parent support for anger outbursts, big feelings, defiance, anxiety, school stress, and daily family friction.
Child behavior
Behavior is often the signal, not the whole story.
Parents often arrive after months of trying rewards, consequences, reassurance, reminders, and new routines. When behavior keeps repeating, the question becomes what the behavior is communicating and what kind of support the child and family need.
Roots to Branches approaches child behavior through a child-specialized and family-aware lens. Support may include play therapy, child therapy, parent coaching, and family counseling when the wider pattern needs care.
What brings families in
Support for behavior patterns that affect daily life.
The intake process helps clarify what has been happening and which care path may fit best.
Defiance
Power struggles, refusal, repeated conflict, and patterns that leave caregivers unsure what to try next.
Anxiety and school stress
Avoidance, worry, separation fears, peer stress, or school-related pressure showing up at home.
Family friction
Sibling tension, daily routines that keep breaking down, or repair that feels hard after difficult moments.

Common questions
Before you request an appointment.
Do both offices offer child behavior support?
Yes. Child therapy, play therapy, parent coaching, family counseling, and related support are available across both locations. Fit depends on clinician availability, specialty, location, and your child's needs.
Is child behavior support the same as play therapy?
Not always. Play therapy may be one helpful care path, especially for younger children. Parent coaching or family counseling may also be recommended depending on the pattern.
Do I need to know which service my child needs?
No. The appointment request process helps clarify whether child therapy, play therapy, parent coaching, family counseling, or another care path makes the most sense.
