There are many topics related to childhood and teenage years that may lead people to turn to psychologists or other experts for help. During these formative times, issues such as bullying (including cyberbullying), ADHD, dyslexia, autism spectrum disorder, and other learning or school problems often begin to show themselves or are at their most urgent.

Bullying can take many forms and can occur off school grounds. There are steps that can be taken to address bullying, but the psychological wounds also need to be addressed. With the rise of technology and social media, there are many online platforms that increase exposure to cyberbullying and other harmful content.

Children and teenagers can also encounter learning disorders, language or speech disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and developmental disorders such as autism. All of these can make learning more difficult, but a professional can help children and teenagers through specialized instruction and services to set them up for success.
