Therapy for Children
You're watching your child struggle, aren't you? The fear that nothing will ever change weighs heavy.
It's Hard Feeling Helpless
It's hard feeling helpless watching your child experience:
​
Explosive Outbursts at home and/or public as they cause chaos and emotional dysregulation that feels impossible to control.
Overwhelming Emotions, including crying over the smallest things, and being overwhelmed by a constant flood of emotions.
Struggles Relating to Peers as they are unable to form meaningful connections, and may feel like an outsider even when around peers.
Low Self-Esteem where they constantly feel unworthy and convinced they're not good enough.
Constant Anxiety as they are consumed by endless worry, unable to escape the scary thoughts.
Strong Need For Approval as they struggle to trust their own
instincts or make decisions independently.

Creative Therapy
Many children may not feel comfortable or be able to talk about their feelings directly. However, they can express themselves through creative therapy techniques by using toys, games, and creative activities. These methods provide an alternative way for your child to engage in the therapeutic process without the pressure of traditional talk therapy. Play can be particularly effective for younger children, enabling them to explore their emotions through play rather than words.
Play allows children to express their emotions in a non-verbal way, helping them process feelings of fear, anger, sadness, or confusion in a safe and supportive environment.
Through play, children learn to communicate more effectively, developing the ability to express their thoughts and feelings both verbally and non-verbally.
Play helps children manage and reduce stress, anxiety, and frustration by providing them with coping mechanisms and a safe space to work through
difficult emotions.
As children engage in play, they gain a sense of control and accomplishment, which can boost their self-confidence and improve their overall self-esteem.
By using toys, games, and creative activities, children learn to approach challenges in new ways, improving their problem-solving skills and decision-making abilities.
Play is especially effective for children who have experienced trauma. It
allows them to express and make sense of their experiences in a way that
feels safe and manageable.
Play can lead to improvements in behavior, helping children learn to manage their emotions and actions in a healthier, more constructive way.
Our Approach
At the heart of our approach is the belief that every child deserves a space where they can be understood, heard, and supported. We prioritize a child-centered approach to therapy, focusing on the unique needs, experiences, and emotions of each individual child. We understand that every child is different — with their own struggles, strengths, and pace of development — which is why we create a safe, nurturing environment where they can express themselves without
fear of judgment.
