From Challenging Behaviors to Brighter Futures: Your child’s journey starts here.
When children feel better, they do better.
Play Therapy and EMDR
Every child deserves the chance to heal and reach their full potential regardless of their age or their past. Trauma can deeply affect children no matter how young they were when they experienced the trauma.
We specialize in play therapy, child development, anxiety, and trauma-focused work with young children.
Children process emotions differently than adults, so we tailor our approaches to meet their unique needs.
You might be here because your child is…
Being affected by their history of neglect or sexual, emotional, or physical abuse.
Struggling with big emotions or challenging behaviors.
Being impacted by not having a relationship with their biological parents.
Facing low self-worth and negative self-beliefs.
Having difficulty managing stress or anxiety.
Feeling overwhelmed, withdrawn, or frustrated.
Experiencing challenges at school or with friends and family.
Struggling to express feelings in healthy ways.
Adjusting to a recent change or loss.
Needing support to navigate life’s challenges.
Deserving a safe space to build confidence and resilience.
We provide specialized support for children who have endured sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, or neglect. Therapy can help them process these experiences, reduce the behavioral and emotional challenges stemming from the trauma, and rebuild their sense of safety.
If your child has experienced loss, difficult life experiences, changes in life, or things that no child should ever have to experience, we are here to help them work through those experiences and whatever challenging emotions or behaviors they might be causing.

Play Therapy and EMDR

Play therapy is a powerful, evidenced-based child therapy approach that helps children express themselves, process emotions, and overcome challenges in a safe, supportive environment. This therapy is especially effective for children experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, behavioral issues, and emotional regulation issues.

When combined with play therapy, EMDR becomes even more powerful. Play therapy provides a comforting, familiar environment for children, helping them express their feelings and experiences both verbally and nonverbally. This integration enhances the therapeutic process, enabling children to process trauma while building trust and emotional regulation skills.
