Expansive and practical, Counseling Children and Adolescents offers graduate students the information they need to prepare for work in both school and clinical mental health settings (two CACREP specialty areas). This text includes not only content related to developmental and counseling theories but also information on evidence-based practices across the continuum of care, diagnosis and treatment of youth, and current trends such as integrated care, mindfulness, telehealth, and neuroscience. Unique to this book are sections on both the instructional and behavioral Response to Intervention (RtI) model and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), examples of evidence-based practices used across settings such as Student Success Skills, Check & Connect, and trauma-focused CBT, and a review of common mental health-related disorders most often seen in youth and treatment recommendations. Ethical and legal implications are infused throughout the book, as are CACREP learning outcomes. The new edition uses a trauma-informed and anti-racist lens and fills a gap in counselor preparation programs.

Reviews and Endorsements

In this book, child and adolescent counselors in school and clinical settings will find comprehensive and contemporary information for working with young clients. Ziomek-Daigle and the chapter authors have provided a thorough, highly readable resource that compiles theories, counseling strategies, and evidence-based practices in one compelling book built on trauma-informed and anti-racist foundations.
Colette Dollarhide, EdD, professor, The Ohio State University

Ziomek-Daigle has curated a series of topics that address the fundamental and developmental needs of children and adolescents. Throughout Counseling Children and Adolescents, the authors present relevant and evidence-based practices, use case studies, and thought-provoking activities. This is an essential text for bridging the gap between theory and practice while emphasizing the complexities of addressing students’ mental health needs.
Elizabeth Vallares Sacks, PhD, professor, Florida Atlantic University

The delivery of effectual mental health services is especially urgent given the profound stressors that confront children and adolescents. Dr. Daigle offers counseling students and practitioners important content and practical suggestions to best serve youth. The content is potentially pertinent to diverse youth populations and her suggestions for practice are grounded in the best-practices and scholarship available. This is truly an invaluable resource for future and current counselors.
Matthew Lemberger-Truelove, PhD, professor, University of North Texas

The editor skillfully infuses relevant and common ethical and legal issues in a most helpful manner. Counseling Children and Adolescents has practical applications for both entry-level counselors-in-training as well as more seasoned school and mental health counselors seeking evidence-based interventions for youth.
Gerald A. Juhnke, EdD, LPC, NCC, MAC, ACS, ACA, fellow/professor, University of Texas at San Antonio

This book goes beyond most in addressing social justice advocacy for children and adolescents who experience immigration, trauma, natural disasters, and grief. Descriptions of creativity, expressive arts, and play therapy combined with details of evidence-based strategies will help readers fill their cart with practical tools.
Jennifer Baggerly, PhD, LPC-S, RPT-S, professor of counseling and play therapy, University of North Texas at Dallas

This book is both captivating and instructive, providing a wonderful foundation for counseling students and child, adolescent, and family practitioners.
Thelma Duffey, PhD, professor and chair, University of Texas at San Antonio, past president, American Counseling Association, founder, Association for Creativity in Counseling
