Child & Adolescent Psychotherapy

As a parent, you want your child to feel happy, safe, and confident. But sometimes, no matter how much you care, your child might be going through something that feels bigger than what you can manage alone. Maybe they’ve become more anxious, withdrawn, easily frustrated, or overwhelmed—and you're not sure why or how to help.

We offer a calm, supportive space where children and teens can talk openly, work through challenges, and learn practucal skills to manage their emotions.

Therapeutic Modalities

  • Children often communicate through play more easily than words. Using games, toys, drawing, or storytelling, we help younger clients express emotions, build coping skills, and work through challenges in a way that feels natural and engaging to them.

  • CBT helps kids and teens recognize and shift unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety, sadness, or frustration while building healthier thought patterns to manage day-to-day life.

  • Sometimes big feelings get “stuck” in the body. We use body-based (somatic) strategies - like breathwork, grounding exercises, or movement- to help young people feel more calm, safe, and in control when emotions are intense or overwhelming.

  • We help kids and teens build confidence in social situations through fun, structured activities. By practicing conversation, empathy, and peer interaction skills, they learn how to connect with others in a way that feels natural and empowering.
