CHILDREN & TEEN THERAPY

Empower your child to develop resilience and healthy coping skills for life.

Children and teens encounter various challenges in today’s world, often lacking healthy coping skills. They may be unfairly hard on themselves or others, have difficulties managing social relationship, or have trouble regulating their emotions. Remember, their brains, habits, and beliefs are still developing. Therapy offers tools to navigate these challenges and foster healthier engagement with the world.

ABOUT CHILDREN THERAPY

Therapy with children uses specialized therapy techniques, tailored for their age and personality.

At Wellspring, our aim with youth is to ease emotional distress, improve coping skills, and enhance resilience. We strive for them to leave counseling healthier and better equipped to handle life’s challenges, recognizing when to seek support in the future. Our goal is for each young person to face the world with confidence and resilience.

GETTING STARTED

We will guide you through every step, ensuring personalized care for your child!

When you reach out, our front office will match your child with a suitable counselor based on goals, location, and personality. After booking, you’ll receive a welcome email and paperwork instructions.

The first session will be with the parent/guardian only which allows for the therapist to freely gather information about the child. Subsequent sessions focus on building rapport with the child/adolescent, and addressing therapy goals. Your child’s therapist will regularly check in with you, update you on progress, and assign homework. Individual sessions with the parent(s) may be requested for deeper discussions or skill-building.

In cases where the child does not reside with both biological parents, please note we may request necessary paperwork to show guardianship of the child.
