About Williamsburg Youth Counseling Working with youth clients is drastically different than working with adults. Children and teens do not care about a philosophy, educational background or theoretical orientation. They care about their ability to relate. Youth need to feel comfortable, supported and most importantly, heard. The first goal of therapy is to develop a well-grounded, trusting relationship. From there, Dane can help your child relax, increase their motivation, repair their negative thoughts and solve problems through the use of Mindfulness, Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral techniques.
