Children & Adolescents
We provide developmentally informed therapy for children and teens ages 7 and up. Our approach supports emotional growth, coping skills, and confidence—while partnering closely with parents or caregivers to ensure progress continues at home.
A Supportive, Family-Centered Approach
Children and teens thrive when the adults in their lives are included in the process. While sessions are held individually with your child, parent and caregiver involvement is an essential part of treatment. We work collaboratively with families to support skill-building, emotional well-being, and healthy communication at home. We work to support your child, by also offering support and collaboration to you.
What We Can Help With
Common Areas of Support
• Anxiety, fears, and worries
• School or social stress
• Emotional regulation & coping skills
• Self-esteem & confidence
• Family or peer conflict
• Life transitions & adjustment
• Grief or separation
• Boundaries & communication skills
Our Commitment to Family Involvement
Therapy for children and teens is most effective when parents and caregivers are part of the process. We value open communication and shared understanding to best support your child.
To create consistency and lasting change, family participation includes:
• A collaborative parent intake session
• Periodic parent check-ins during the treatment process
• Support with at-home tools, skills, and communication strategies
This ensures progress made in session is supported and reinforced in daily life.
What Sessions Look Like
Sessions for children and teens are tailored to their developmental needs. Depending on age and goals, sessions may include talk therapy, creative or play-based strategies, coping skills, mindfulness, and age-appropriate emotional expression. Teens may benefit from more insight-based work, while younger children often learn best through activities and skill practice.
A Note on Privacy and Trust
We aim to create a safe space where children and teens feel comfortable sharing openly. While parents are involved as key partners, we also protect your child’s privacy and dignity. We will share themes, progress, and recommendations—without disclosing personal details that your child wishes to keep private, unless safety concerns arise.
