Care for children & families

Child Therapy

Many of our therapists specialize in working with kids. The goal of the first session is simple — help your child feel at ease, so the work that follows feels less like therapy and more like spending time with someone who gets it.

Care built around how kids actually open up

Children today face alarmingly high rates of anxiety and depression. Most parents notice the shift before the child can name it — sleep gets uneven, school becomes harder, the small frustrations stop being small.

Our therapists work to put children at ease from the very first meeting. Most kids come to look forward to sessions once they know their therapist. We also work alongside parents to develop goals that support the child within the family — not apart from it.

How we work

How we work with children

Play Therapy

Kids process through doing, not telling. Play is where the real material surfaces — and where regulation skills get rehearsed safely.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Age-adapted CBT for anxiety, depression, and the looping thoughts that quietly run a kid's day.

Family Therapy

When the system needs care, not just the child. Parents are partners — sometimes the work happens together.

Trauma-Focused CBT

An evidence-based, phased approach for kids who've been through something hard.

Mindfulness

Simple, kid-sized practices for bringing the body back down from anxious to settled.

Behavior Management

Practical structure for home and school — built with parents, not handed to them.

What to expect

What sessions look like

1

First meeting

Parents and child come in together. Low-pressure — we talk about what's going on, who lives at home, what the school day looks like.

Building trust

Most of the early work moves through play, art, and story. We're learning your child while your child learns that this is a safe place to bring hard stuff.

Ongoing care

Sessions belong to your child. We loop you in with regular parent check-ins and clear, plain-language updates on what's working.

Ongoing

Parents are part of the work

You know your child best. We meet with parents regularly — short check-ins, practical tools, no guesswork — so the progress at the office actually shows up at home.
