1.

What Is Children & Teen Therapy?

 

Children and teen therapy is designed specifically for the emotional and developmental needs of young people. Using age-appropriate techniques, our therapists help kids and teens work through challenges in ways that make sense for them.

 

Common reasons parents seek therapy for children and teens include:

 

  • Anxiety or depression impacting school or friendships

  • Behavioral challenges at home or in the classroom

  • Bullying or peer relationship struggles

  • Family transitions like divorce or blended families

  • Grief or loss of a loved one

  • Identity or self-esteem concerns during adolescence

  • Academic stress or perfectionism

2.

What to Expect in Therapy

 

 

During the first session, we meet with the child or teen—and often the parent(s)—to understand the challenges and set goals together.

 

Therapy may include:

  • Play therapy for younger children to express emotions safely

  • Talk therapy for teens to discuss feelings openly

  • Skills training to manage emotions and handle conflict

  • Family sessions when needed to improve communication at home

 

Sessions are private, supportive, and always at the pace that feels right for the child or teen.

3.

How Long Does Therapy Take?

 

 

  • Short-term therapy: 8–12 sessions for specific concerns like anxiety or school stress

  • Long-term therapy: Several months for deeper issues like trauma, family changes, or ongoing emotional challenges

 

Many families start with weekly sessions and move to biweekly or monthly as progress is made.
