Do they "need" therapy or would they be "helped" by therapy. I would say that some counseling would be beneficial to children, especially if they have an increase with negative behaviors. Family therapy would be best, with both parents and the children meeting with a counselor that specializes with helping couples through the divorce process. Take care.
Not all children "need" counseling after divorce, however it may be highly beneficial, especially if they are showing signs of struggle.
Hello yes I would suggest therapy for all parties involved due to the seriousness of the change. Divorce doesn't just affect the two who are married but playa huge mental, emotional role for kid/s.
Behavioral therapy: Therapy can help release the shame and negative emotions that often accompany nail biting. It can also help increase awareness of the triggers and urges you feel. In some cases, habit-reversal training or hypnotherapy are effective.
Greetings,
Yes, it would not hurt for children to seek therapy after their parents get a divorce. Kids are affected in different ways in they may not know how to explain. They may not feel comfortable connecting with familiar faces and may need to be heard by someone relatable, or they can trust who has no connection to their daily lives. I hope this helps.

Hi, Thanks for your question. Children of divorce do not necessarily need therapy, but it can be a helpful place for your child to process her thoughts and feelings, express her experience, and work through any emotional challenges with a professional mental health care provider. I
would recommend you seek out help if you notice your daughter's behavior or emotions change in a negative way or seem unusual. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question,
No, not all children whose parents are divorced need therapy. Some children adjust well to the changes and do not require therapy. Other children struggle with the adjustment and can benefit from therapy. It really depends on the child and her own personal experience.

It would be in her best interest to provide the opportunity to process her feeling, worries, and fears. Divorce does affect the children as well.
Hi, it depends on your daughter's age as young children may not be able to understand the process. School age and teenage years appear to be typical ages for therapy engagement when family changes, disruptions and transitions may occur. Some children are able to adjust and adapt well to the divorce process as parents support one another, agree to co-parent together and remain amicable. This in turn can minimize confusion for the child, as well as behavioral and/or emotional challenges. If behavioral or emotional challenges are occurring for the child, therapy is recommended and can occur in individual or family format.
