Emotional regulation & self-esteem for children · Valencia

Therapy for emotional regulation, self-esteem and social skills in children and adolescents in Valencia. Child psychologist CV16625.

You snap at small things, feel empty for no clear reason, or see that your child cannot manage what they feel. Emotional regulation and self-esteem work using CBT, mindfulness and therapeutic play, adapted to each life stage.

Knowing how to identify what we feel, understanding why we react the way we do and having strategies to regulate ourselves is fundamental to mental health. In adults, difficulties with emotional regulation often manifest as chronic stress, anger outbursts, avoidance or a fragile self-esteem that shapes life decisions. In children and adolescents, they show up through intense tantrums, insecurity, social withdrawal or aggressive behaviours. At Gen we work from an integrative, evidence-based approach, adapting techniques to each life stage — mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural therapy, therapeutic play and family work — so each person finds their own path to emotional balance.
