Children and Teens

Child & Teen Therapy: Contact Us About Current Availability

Therapy is one of the best things we can provide our struggling kids and teens, as it helps them learn about themselves, their thoughts, and their emotions, while also teaching them to manage throughout their challenges. Our treatment approaches to helping children and teens include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Art Therapy, and others.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT for children and adolescents is a closed ended, empirically supported treatment for a wide range of problems including depression, anxiety, behavioral difficulties, school refusal, disordered eating, and adjustment difficulties. CBT is grounded in the assumption that beliefs, behaviors, and emotions are interconnected. It is a collaborative, present-focused approach to problematic behaviors, thinking patterns, and emotions. Treatment includes parental participation and is most effective when the tools learned in therapy are practiced at home. 

Play Therapy
Play therapy works by allowing kids a safe space to creatively express their thoughts and emotions. Years of empirical research supports the effectiveness of play therapy in treating mental and emotional struggles in childhood.

Art Therapy
Emotions are often best understood when we use them to create. Art therapy uses drawing, painting, writing, and creating to help kids and teens learn about themselves and their emotions, while giving them a great way to cope with tough feelings.
