It’s hard to remember how we worked through the struggles we experienced as children. Many of us could have used the support of a child therapist during those difficult moments when many times the situations were out of our hands: school transitions, family relocation, behavioral issues, parental divorce, bullying or a conflict at school. We recognize these experiences as fragile; although, an excellent time to build resilience and confidence.

We provide a safe and nurturing environment where young minds can express themselves and work through emotional challenges. Using age-appropriate techniques, such as play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy, to help children understand and manage their feelings. By addressing issues like anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and trauma, we support children in developing healthy coping skills, improving their self-esteem, and fostering positive relationships. Our goal is to empower children to thrive emotionally and mentally, ensuring a happier, healthier future.

Our children therapists/art therapists: Leann, Victoria, Emmalyn and Abbie.

Anxiety & School Challenges

School can be a place of growth and discovery, but it can also bring challenges for children. We work with kids who are experiencing anxiety, trouble adjusting in the classroom, or difficulties navigating the social dynamics of friendships and peer groups. Many children struggle with perfectionism, fear of failure, or feeling overwhelmed by expectations. Others may face challenges with expressing emotions, handling frustration, or managing transitions throughout the school day.

Therapy provides a safe space for children to process these experiences and learn healthier ways to cope. Our approach focuses on helping kids:

  • Build a toolkit of strategies to manage big feelings

  • Learn how to express emotions appropriately and confidently

  • Strengthen their ability to utilize supports at school and at home

  • Develop skills to handle discomfort and build resilience

By giving children a place to explore and practice these tools, we empower them to grow with confidence and balance, both in and out of the classroom.

Parent Resource: Calming Toolkit for School

Supporting children at home and in the classroom can make a big difference in how they manage anxiety. We’ve created a free resource for parents, the Calming & Anxiety-Relieving Desk Activities for Kids PDF, which includes simple, school-friendly activities to help kids feel grounded and focused at their desk.

Use this toolkit to create a set of strategies your child can bring to school, giving them practical, calming tools they can use whenever they need support

CALMING CARDS

A creative way to help kids calm, refocus, and build independence

Our Calming Cards printable gives parents and kids an easy, creative way to turn coping skills into something visual, hands-on, and personal. These cards can be used quietly at home, at school, or anywhere a child needs a little reset.

The idea is simple, kids explore different grounding, calming, and refocusing techniques, then create a small card for each one. Each card becomes a visual reminder of what helps their body and brain feel calm again. Over time, this activity helps kids understand their emotions, recognize when they’re starting to feel overwhelmed, and reach for a strategy that truly works for them. Check out a visual version of this activity on our blog the Salty Series.

The PDF includes:

A parent guide explaining how to introduce and support the use of calming cards at home or school

A kid-friendly explanation of what feelings to notice and how to choose a helpful skill

A list of simple grounding, breathing, movement, and mindfulness techniques to pick from

Step-by-step instructions for creating each card

It’s a fun, meaningful art-based activity that encourages both support and independence, helping kids take ownership of their feelings while giving parents a positive, practical tool to use together.

BEHAVIORAL GAME BOARD

A creative way to build better habits, one step at a time

Our Behavior Game Board turns behavior goals into a hands-on, motivating game that helps children clearly understand what they’re working on — one behavior at a time. It encourages consistency, family connection, and fun while setting clear expectations and positive boundaries.

The idea is simple: children move along their game board each time they make progress toward their chosen goal. Along the way, a few small prizes help keep them engaged and motivated, and a larger reward at the end celebrates their effort, something meaningful that encourages togetherness with the family, like a special outing or activity.

The PDF includes:

A guided section for parents and children to work together on identifying one behavior to focus on, and when it tends to happen most

A child-friendly area to create a personalized game piece to mark their progress

Printable game boards that can be colored, decorated, or themed around your child’s interests

Prompts for parents to define what behavior they’re helping to shape and clear steps for encouraging success

Space to plan both small and big rewards that reinforce progress and family connection

This playful activity helps children understand exactly what’s expected of them while also feeling supported and proud of their growth. It’s a creative, relationship-based approach to setting structure that builds self-awareness, accountability, and teamwork within the family.

JOURNALING CARDS

A creative way to help kids reflect, express, and grow

Our Journal Flash Cards activity turns self-reflection into something visual, creative, and approachable for children. Each card includes a journaling or art prompt designed to help kids explore their thoughts, feelings, and everyday experiences — one topic at a time.

This activity encourages children to build confidence in expressing themselves, develop emotional awareness, and find healthy ways to cope with challenges. It’s a wonderful tool for quiet time at home, creative classroom activities, or use alongside therapy sessions to help children put words and images to what’s happening inside.

The PDF includes:

Simple, kid-friendly prompts divided into seven themes: Friendship & Communication, Self-Care, Habits & Growth, Boundaries & Personal Space, Family Experiences, Positive Self-Talk & Confidence, Feelings

These flash cards invite children to explore who they are, how they feel, and how they connect with the world around them, using both words and art as powerful tools for understanding and growth.
