Child/Adolescent Individual Therapy
Embedded Files
We offer therapy to children and youth of all ages (0+)
Like adults, children and adolescents can experience challenges that affect how they feel, act, or learn. Therapy is a type of treatment for these problems. It is a way to get help for your child.
Individual therapy for children using a trauma-informed, holistic approach supports healing by addressing the whole child—mind, body, emotions, relationships, and development. Therapy prioritizes safety, trust, and emotional regulation, recognizing that children often express trauma through behavior rather than words.
Sessions are developmentally appropriate and may include play, art, movement, and sensory-based activities to help children express feelings, build coping skills, and strengthen nervous system regulation. Caregiver involvement is an essential part of the process, supporting healthy attachment, consistency, and co-regulation at home and school.
This approach focuses on understanding behaviors as communication, fostering resilience, and helping children feel safe, confident, and supported as they grow and heal.
Play Therapy
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a form of counseling that uses play as the primary means of communication and healing for children. Because children often cannot fully express their thoughts and emotions with words, play becomes their natural way to share experiences, feelings, and concerns.
In play therapy, a trained therapist provides a safe, supportive environment with toys, games, art materials, and activities. Through play, children can express emotions, work through difficulties, practice problem-solving, and make sense of their experiences. The therapist observes and responds therapeutically, helping the child develop emotional awareness, self-regulation, and coping skills.
Play therapy can address a wide range of emotional, behavioral, social, and developmental challenges, such as anxiety, trauma, grief, family changes, and relationship difficulties. It supports healthy emotional development and helps children build confidence, resilience, and improved relationships.
Play therapy with a holistic approach also seeks to support overall well-being, addressing emotional, physical, social, cognitive, and sometimes spiritual dimensions of the child’s life, Instead of focusing only on symptoms or behaviors.
Overall, the goal of a holistic approach to play therapy is not just symptom reduction, but integration and balance—helping the child feel safer in their body, clearer in their emotions, more connected in relationships, and more confident in navigating their world.
