Children experience stress, emotions, and life changes in ways that can look very different from adults. Child therapy offers a supportive, developmentally appropriate space where children can express themselves, build coping skills, and feel understood.

At Phases of Healing Counseling and Therapy, we provide child therapy that meets each child where they are emotionally, developmentally, and relationally
Your Child May Benefit from Therapy If They Are:

-Struggling with big emotions, anxiety, or worries
-Showing changes in behavior, mood, or sleep
-Having difficulty with emotional regulation or coping skills
-Adjusting to family changes, transitions, or loss
-Processing stressful or traumatic experiences
-Experiencing challenges at school or in relationships

​How Child Therapy Helps
Child therapy can support children in:

-Understanding and expressing emotions in healthy ways
-Developing coping and emotional regulation skills
-Improving self-esteem and confidence
-Reducing anxiety, stress, and behavioral challenges
-Strengthening problem-solving and communication skills

Therapy is designed to feel engaging, safe, and supportive, not overwhelming or intimidating.


Our Approach
We use a flexible, evidence-based approach tailored to each child’s unique needs.
Therapy may include:

PLAY THERAPY TECHNIQUES
Play-based interventions to help children express emotions & experiences in developmentally appropriate ways.

TRAUMA-FOCUSED COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (TF-CBT)  
Helps children process difficult experiences while building coping skills and emotional resilience.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT) 
Supports children in identifying thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and learning healthier patterns.

MINDFULNESS-BASED THERAPIES 
Teach grounding, emotional awareness, and calming strategies that children can use at home and school.

Caregiver involvement is an important part of the therapeutic process, and we collaborate with families to support growth beyond the therapy room.


What to Expect
Sessions are structured to be warm, engaging, and age-appropriate. We balance individual time with caregiver check-ins to ensure children feel supported while families stay informed and involved.
