Psychotherapy for Children

Young children don’t have the vocabulary for what’s bothering them. Instead, it comes out sideways — through tantrums, clinginess, trouble at school, difficulty making friends, or physical symptoms that have no medical explanation. A sudden change in behavior, a regression to earlier habits, or a persistent sadness that doesn’t match the circumstances — these are a child’s way of telling you something needs attention.

With children, therapy happens through the language they already speak: play, drawing, storytelling, and creative expression. These aren’t just activities — they’re how a child processes difficult feelings and practices new ways of relating to others. The aim is to help them understand their own emotions and build the internal resources to handle them. We involve parents and caregivers directly in the process, because the work that happens between sessions matters just as much as what happens in the room.
