Children
Children experience big feelings too, and sometimes they need extra support to understand and express them. In child therapy, we create a safe and caring environment where kids can explore their thoughts and emotions through age-appropriate activities and conversation. Our goal is to help children build confidence, improve coping skills, and strengthen relationships at home and school.
