How Therapy Helps Children

Children process emotions differently from adults, which is why our approach blends play, storytelling, skill-building, and family involvement.

Therapy can help your child:

  • Understand and express their feelings
  • Improve communication skills
  • Build coping tools for stress, anxiety, or anger
  • Strengthen social skills and peer relationships
  • Increase emotional regulation
  • Heal from trauma
  • Improve behavior and cooperation
  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Strengthen the parent-child relationship

  • Play Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
  • TBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention)

Frequently Asked Questions

What ages do you work with?

We work with children of all ages, from toddlers through pre-teens. We tailor our approach to each developmental level.

Do parents participate in therapy sessions?

Yes. While some sessions are child-focused, parent involvement is essential. Therapists regularly meet with caregivers to provide updates, strategies, and support.

How do you help a child who doesn’t want to talk?

Many children open up through play, art, or activities rather than conversation. Our therapists are trained to connect in ways that feel natural and comfortable for each child.

How long does children’s therapy take?

Every child is different. Some see improvement within weeks, while others benefit from ongoing support. Your therapist will guide you based on progress and goals.

Do you treat children with ADHD or Autism?

Yes. Our therapists have experience supporting neurodivergent children and their families with emotional regulation, behavior, and social skills.

Can you help with trauma or big life changes?

Absolutely. We offer trauma-focused therapies and attachment-based support for children coping with grief, loss, separation, moves, or adoption.
