Therapy for Kids
We specialize in helping kids with anxiety and kids who have experienced upsetting events (trauma).
We do this by helping kids learn about how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected.
We also like to help kids understand what their body might be telling them—such as getting a stomachache when going somewhere new could mean that they are feeling anxious.
Once we can identify how we feel, we can work on changing it.
Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.
~ Fred Rogers
We know that most kids, and even teens, don’t want to sit on a couch and talk about their feelings.
Our approach with kids and teens is interactive—we will draw and use art to help with expression, play games, use puppets or other manipulatives, tell stories and read books, and use other creative means to learn about and express emotions, social skills, body sensations, and more.
