Child Therapy

Child Therapy

Children express themselves differently than adults, which is why child therapy uses play, art, and creative approaches to help young ones process emotions and experiences. We work with children facing anxiety, behavioral challenges, family changes, and more.

Kids Don't Talk About Feelings — They Show Them

Children process emotions through play, art, and movement long before they can articulate what they're feeling. Effective child therapy meets them where they actually are. We use play therapy, sand tray, art-based approaches, and other developmentally appropriate methods to help children make sense of their experiences.

What We Help With

  • Anxiety and worry
  • Sadness and depression
  • Behavioral concerns at home or school
  • Trauma, including medical, family, and relational
  • Adjustment to divorce, blended family, or loss
  • Friendship struggles
  • Sleep difficulties
  • Big emotions that feel hard to manage

Sessions Are Half the Picture — Parents Are the Other Half

We meet with parents regularly, separately from the child, to share what's emerging in sessions, offer guidance, and help you support the work between visits. Children make the most progress when therapy and the home environment are aligned.

Ages We See

We work with children ages 4–12. For teens, see our teen therapy page.
