Is your child or teen struggling with emotions, behavior, or major life changes?
Growing up today brings unique challenges, and sometimes kids and teens need extra support to make sense of their feelings and experiences. Child and teen therapy offers a compassionate, age-appropriate space where young people can feel safe, heard, and understood.

What Is Child & Teen Therapy?

Child and teen therapy is specialized counseling designed to help young people process emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills. Through conversation, play, art, and other creative methods, we meet them at their level, providing support that feels approachable and not overwhelming.

Common Reasons Families Seek Therapy for Children & Teens

• Anxiety, excessive worry, or panic attacks
• Depression, sadness, or withdrawal from activities
• Difficulty adjusting to divorce, relocation, or family changes
• Struggles with friendships, bullying, or social pressures
• Grief and loss
• Behavioral challenges at home or school
• Identity exploration, including self-esteem and confidence building
• Processing past trauma or upsetting events

How We Approach Therapy

We tailor our approach based on the child's or teen’s age, interests, and needs. Some of the tools and methods we may use include:

• Play Therapy Techniques: Helping younger children express feelings through play when words are hard to find
• Art and Expressive Therapies: Encouraging creativity as a bridge to deeper emotions
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Teaching practical tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
• Trauma-Informed Care: Providing a safe environment that honors autonomy and emotional safety
• Family Involvement (When Helpful): Supporting parents and caregivers with tools to reinforce growth at home

We believe every young person has innate strength and wisdom. Our role is to help them access it.

What to Expect in a Session

Sessions are typically 50 minutes and are tailored to the developmental stage of the child or teen. Depending on their needs, sessions may include talking, playing, drawing, practicing coping skills, or a combination.
We also collaborate with parents or caregivers (with the young person's consent) to ensure consistent support outside of therapy.

Our priority is building trust first because meaningful growth happens when young people feel truly safe.

Who Is This For?

Child and teen therapy is open to:

• Children (ages 6+), preteens, and teenagers
• Young people navigating emotional, behavioral, or social challenges
• Families seeking support for major transitions, losses, or life stressors
• Kids and teens who may not have another outlet to process complex feelings

You don’t have to wait for a crisis. Therapy can also be a proactive space to build emotional resilience and confidence early on.
