CHILD THERAPY

Children experience a wide range of emotions and challenges as they grow and develop, but sometimes these can become overwhelming, impacting their behavior, learning, and relationships. Children might struggle with anxiety, sadness, anger, difficulty adjusting to changes, family transitions, or behavioral concerns that are hard for parents to manage. For young children, verbalizing these difficulties can be hard, as they often communicate through play.

At Healing Words Therapy, our child therapists create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where children can feel understood and supported. We understand that children communicate differently than adults, and our approach utilizes developmentally appropriate methods to help them express their feelings and navigate challenges. We specialize in Play Therapy, where play is the child's natural language, allowing them to process emotions, resolve conflicts, and develop coping skills in a non-threatening way. We also utilize Sand Tray Therapy, a powerful non-verbal tool for exploring inner worlds. Our therapists work closely with parents, providing guidance and strategies to support their child's emotional and behavioral development at home.
