CHILD THERAPY

Using a combination of play therapy, talk therapy, and other age-appropriate methods, our skilled therapists create a safe environment where children can express themselves freely, build resilience and improve behavior. We work closely with parents to build healthy communication, foster emotional growth, and strengthen family dynamics.

Your child may benefit from therapy if they:
 

  • Recently experienced trauma, grief, or significant life changes
     

  • Are experiencing impulsivity or emotional outbursts and need space and tools to understand and manage their emotions
     

  • Building Resilience: Learn problem-solving skills and strategies to bounce back from adversity.
     

  • Support social skills: Learn how to interact with peers, manage conflicts, and build healthy friendships.
     

  • Increase Self-Esteem: Foster a positive self-image by helping children build confidence, self-awareness, and encouraging authentic self-expression.

What to Expect

1. Contact Us to Make an Appointment

If you are unsure or have more questions you can also set up a FREE 15 min phone consultation with the therapist. Look out for an email from us to sign your consent forms and fill out your assessment.

2. Attend Initial Assessment

Our Child Therapy Assessment consists of a total of 2-4 sessions. In the first session your therapist will meet with the Parents/Guardians only. Following the Parent Assessment Session your therapist will then meet with the child alone for 1-3 Child Assessment Sessions(*). Once the Assessment is complete, your therapist will provide a Treatment Plan to reach you and your childs goals. *Per Therapist Assessment, a parent may be asked to attend the child session when the child is less than 6 yrs old or may have an attachment disorder.

3. Start Treatment Sessions

Start Treatment Sessions to reach your personal goals.

4. Closing Session

Our practice recommend that once your child has met their goals, to end with a closing session to bring closure to your experience and discuss any further recomendations or resources.
