You know your child best, so you’re often the first to sense when something shifts. That can look like:
- Bigger feelings, or bigger reactions, than usual
- A worry, fear, or sadness that won't settle
- Being more clingy than usual
- Trouble settling at bedtime or sleeping in their own bed
- Stomachaches or other physical complaints
- A change at school, at home, or with friends
- Pulling away from people or activities they used to enjoy
Therapy gives them a warm, unhurried place to feel understood, and gives you a partner in figuring out what helps. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
Common Challenges We Help Children Work Through
We support children working through a wide range of experiences, including:
- Tantrums and big emotions
- Trouble sleeping or separation anxiety
- Specific fears like the dark, loud sounds, or the shower
- School refusal
- Making and keeping friends
- Being bullied
- Selective mutism (not speaking at school)
- Meltdowns, or getting into trouble at school
- Anxiety
- Childhood depression
- OCD or intrusive thoughts
- Trauma and attachment
How We Work With Children
Young children make sense of their world through play. It’s how they show us what’s happening inside long before they have the words. So our work with children is playful, gentle, and paced to where each child is developmentally, from the early years through about age 11. Depending on what your child needs, that can include:
- Play-based sessions using toys, art, and stories
- Skills for naming big feelings and riding them out
- An approach attuned to what's typical for your child's age
- Attachment work to help your child feel safe and connected
Because children grow within their families, much of the change happens in the relationships around them too.
Parents Are Part of the Work
Children’s therapy works best when the people closest to them are part of it. As your child builds new skills, we help you build matching ones at home. With your permission, we can also connect with teachers, grandparents, or other caregivers, so your child feels supported everywhere they go.
If you’d like more help in your own parenting, we also offer support for parents. And when the whole family is navigating a change together, family therapy in Campbell may be a good fit.
