Child Counseling

Nurturing Growth Through Play and Connection

Kids don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling—but they’ll often show us through play, behavior, and body language. That’s why child counseling looks a little different than therapy with adults. Around here, we speak kid. And kids? They speak play.

Through play therapy, children are given space to process emotions, build self-awareness, and explore what’s going on inside—all in a way that feels safe, natural, and just right for their age and stage of development. But play is just the beginning. Depending on your child’s needs, we may also incorporate other approaches like sandtray work, art, movement, and anxiety-specific strategies like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—a powerful method for helping kids who are struggling with things like OCD or intense fears.

Every child is different, so we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor our work based on what your child needs, how they communicate, and what’s developmentally appropriate for them. Some kids need space to explore freely; others benefit from more structure and direct support. We’re trained to track what’s underneath the play or behavior, and we gently guide the process with intention and care.

And you’re not left out of the loop. We’ll work with you—the parent or caregiver—to help you better understand what your child is going through and how you can support them outside of session. You don’t need to have it all figured out; we’ll walk alongside you, offering insight, encouragement, and strategies you can actually use at home.

Whether your child is facing anxiety, trauma, grief, behavioral challenges, or just having a hard time adjusting to life’s curveballs, we’re here to help them (and you) find steadier ground.
