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
