Helping kids, young adults, and families succeed for years to come.
The brightest future involves healthy children and families, together. Our counselors meet kids where they are — at school, in the office, or online.
Counseling to match your season of life.
We serve Redding, Chico, Red Bluff, and the surrounding Shasta, Tehama, and Butte County communities — at school, in our offices, or by telehealth anywhere in California.
Elementary & junior high
School-based counseling for kids who are struggling to connect, feeling isolated, or going through a hard season.
Ask about your school →College & young adults
Support for the transition into, through, or back from school — in the office, online with telehealth, or both.
College resources →Parents & families
Life is hard, and family is hard. We help parents understand what their child is going through and how to support them at home.
Common questions →We’ve seen what happens when kids feel they have no one to turn to.
All too frequently, we hear of a young person struggling to connect with others, becoming isolated, feeling like they have no one to turn to, or turning to substances to cope with emotional pain.
Despite advances, adolescent depression, substance use, and suicide remain significant problems — the US Surgeon General has called it a youth mental health crisis, and it has been growing for years. At NextGen Counseling, our team of mental health professionals helps kids, young adults, and families through tough problems. We understand life is hard, and we have seen firsthand what can happen when kids feel bullied, withdraw from others, and struggle with their mental health.
We are driven to provide therapeutic services for children, teens, and young adults during crucial developmental years. If you are a parent, student, or school and believe our services would be helpful, please call or email us today.
