Support That Helps Children Feel Understood

Therapy that fits a child's age and stage, for worries about feelings, behavior, relationships, school or something painful that happened.

Read more

Children grow within their relationships, so caregivers are often partners in care, from setting goals to practicing skills at home.

Signs a Child May Need Support

Changes in mood, sleep, school performance, friendships or behavior can signal that a young person needs support. One sign alone isn't a diagnosis. Caregivers often notice:

  • Frequent meltdowns, tears or anger
  • Worries or fears that get in the way
  • Trouble at school or with friends
  • Changes in sleep, eating or play
  • Stomachaches or headaches without a clear cause
  • A hard change or loss in the family

What Sessions May Look Like

Therapy isn't a punishment. Sessions may include conversation, creative or play-based activities, skill practice, and work with family, always working toward goals you help set.

  • Naming and managing big feelings
  • Calming and coping skills
  • Confidence and friendships
  • Support after trauma or loss
  • Strategies caregivers can use at home

Common Questions

What ages do you work with?

We work with children from birth through age 17, and with adults 18 and older.

Will I be part of my child's therapy?

Caregivers are included when clinically appropriate, with attention to a young person's privacy, safety and growing independence.

Is what my child says in therapy kept private?

The clinician explains confidentiality and its limits in clear, age-appropriate language, so everyone knows what stays private and what may be shared.
