About Our Practice

Life can be tough sometimes—big feelings, stressful situations, and sudden changes can leave both kids and parents feeling overwhelmed. Kids might feel anxious, sad, or frustrated without really knowing why. Parents might feel worried or unsure about how to help. You are not alone, and these feelings are completely normal.

Our approach focuses on helping children feel safe in their bodies, calm in their minds, and confident in their abilities—while also giving parents the tools and guidance they need to support their child at home.

Through gentle, trauma-informed strategies, kids learn how to:

  • Notice when their body is tense and find ways to relax

  • Calm racing thoughts and handle worry without feeling overwhelmed

  • Recognize and name emotions without judgment

  • Build confidence, resilience, and a sense of control—even when life changes quickly

At the same time, parents gain insight into how stress and big feelings show up in their child, along with simple ways to:

  • Support healthy coping at home

  • Communicate about emotions in a safe, encouraging way

  • Encourage independence and self-regulation without pressure

This approach isn’t about forcing kids to “get over” their feelings—it’s about helping them feel understood, heard, and capable. Healing is a journey, and every small step toward understanding and calm matters.

What Your Child Will Learn

  • Simple ways to calm their body and mind when emotions feel too big

  • How to handle worry and stressful thoughts safely

  • Tools for grounding after scary, confusing, or overwhelming moments

  • How to talk about feelings in a way that feels comfortable

  • Ways to navigate school stress, friendships, or family changes

  • How to build confidence, resilience, and self-awareness

  • Practical skills for asking for help and finding safety

How Therapy Helps

  • Helps kids make sense of confusing or overwhelming feelings

  • Supports emotional regulation and coping with big changes

  • Strengthens confidence, focus, and problem-solving skills

  • Provides a safe space where kids feel seen, heard, and supported

  • Guides parents in understanding, communicating, and reinforcing healthy coping at home

Our mission is to provide you and your child with comprehensive care to help you feel more grounded and empowered. Together, we’ll work towards sustainable change and better mental health.

If You’re Wondering… “Is This Right for My Child?”

  • Your child might benefit from support if you notice:

  • Frequent worry or anxious feelings

  • Big emotional reactions or mood swings

  • Trouble sleeping or concentrating

  • Avoiding school, friends, or activities they used to enjoy

  • Difficulty expressing or managing emotions
