Technology Issues
What is Technology Issues Therapy?
Technology Issues Therapy addresses challenges arising from excessive or inappropriate use of digital devices and social media. In today’s connected world, children and teens are often immersed in a digital environment from a very young age. This can lead to various issues such as addiction to smartphones, sleep deprivation, physical ailments like “text neck” and eye strain, and emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Therapy is crucial for helping individuals and families develop healthy technology habits and integrate digital tools in a balanced way that enhances rather than detracts from their lives.
At Wellspring, our diverse, experienced, and licensed therapists are equipped to support families navigating the complex world of digital media. We provide a safe space for you and your child to explore these issues and develop strategies to create a healthy relationship with technology.
