Child Therapy 

Children need a safe place to grow and flourish.

In therapy, the child explores and understands their thoughts and emotions in a safe and nurturing environment. They learn to interpret their body signals and use their breath to settle their mind.

Children today are under tremendous pressure to perform in school, stay on top of extracurricular activities, and manage peer pressure and expectations at home. This tempo can, at times, feel overwhelming for all children. However, if there are other stressors in a child’s life, these pressures can become too burdensome, leading to school avoidance, physical complaints, depressed moods, and more.

It is normal for a child to have mood changes. However, if these mood changes persistently impact their (and your) life, it is time to consider therapy.

Whether your child is struggling with emotional regulation, anxiety, life transitions, peer-related issues, hyperactivity, learning difficulties, or self-esteem, through individual therapy, they learn tools and gain skills to overcome their challenges. They are heard, supported, celebrated, encouraged, and empowered to become the best version of themselves.

No cookie-cutter solution exists.

Child therapy is uniquely shaped to your child’s needs, challenges, and your family’s circumstances, considering their age, personality, and goals.

Through the therapeutic process, children learn to self-regulate, change maladaptive behaviors, and develop healthy coping skills and mechanisms. They learn to identify their feelings and understand and express their needs without negatively affecting others. They feel better emotionally by overcoming their fears and difficulties and gaining confidence and resilience.

While fully supporting your child during sessions, I work closely with parents to provide insight and recommendations for helping them in all other life settings. If needed, I collaborate with schools, primary care doctors, psychiatrists, or other health care providers to provide the therapeutic support your child needs.

The Methods include art, play, breathwork, and more.

I use evidence-based therapies, such as CBT and mindfulness-based therapies, to create a meaningful and growth-focused experience for your child. In addition to talk therapy, we use art, play, movement, and breathwork to overcome difficulties, build confidence, and gain skills that will serve them for years.

The time for change is now.

It is time to turn a new page in your child’s life.

Together, we can help your child navigate this challenging phase.
