Participation in therapy can empower children, helping them understand their thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns. This process strengthens their sense of self, increases confidence, and equips them with strategies to manage everyday challenges.

Therapy for ages 3-5 involves evidence-based family work focusing on the parent-child relationship. As children age, individual therapy can be a powerful tool for equipping them to become “big kids.”

As children transition into middle and high school, they often face increasing academic and social pressures. Therapy can be a powerful tool for gaining insight and developing or recovering self-esteem.

For children who may be struggling with extra hurdles, such as grief, trauma, family conflict, anxiety, depression, or learning challenges, therapy provides a safe space to work through these challenges.

Here are the most common reasons parents seek therapy for their children:

  • Concerns with parent-child or family relationships
  • Impulsive or disruptive behaviors
  • Talking with children about tricky subjects in an age-appropriate way
  • Positive and effective approaches toward discipline/behavior management
  • Coping with an illness
  • Adjustment to life changes or stressors

  • Impulsivity
  • Trauma
