Child psychologists assess and treat children and adolescents. They help children cope with stresses like divorce, death, and family or school transitions. Their clientele may include children with a variety of developmental issues, from learning disabilities to severe mental illness.
In children, psychologists frequently diagnose ADHD, Asperger’s, anxiety, depression, and other disorders that relate to mood, emotion, behavior, and learning. Psychologists may have a specific “orientation” which means they practice from a specific point of view in the field of psychology. As an example, a psychologist may practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Because the field of psychology is so broad it may be important to ask the psychologist if they have a specific orientation in their practice and/or if they focus on a specific population (ie autism, ADHD, depression, adolescence, etc.)

Child psychology is the study of subconscious and conscious childhood development. Child psychologists observe how a child interacts with their parents, themselves, and the world, to understand their mental development.
It includes the observation and understanding of the world around them, language learning, memory, decision-making, problem-solving, how the child uses their imagination, and how the child uses basic reasoning. All of these factors are influenced by a child's genetics and environment.
Helping children understand their emotions early can have a powerful impact on current and future emotional development. A Child Psychologist can help your child understand and express their emotions in a healthy, positive way. Emotional development highly informs social development.
