Counseling for Children 0-6
Supporting Your Child’s Emotional Growth from the Start
Your child’s earliest relationships shape their brain, emotions, and resilience. If you're facing challenges—big or small—you don’t have to navigate them alone.
Counseling for children ages 0-6 strengthens the parent-child bond, supports emotional regulation, and fosters secure attachment. With early support, families can build connection, reduce stress, and lay the foundation for lifelong well-being. Contact us to get a partner in this work.

CPP is a trauma-focused, relationship-based therapy for children 0-5 and their caregivers. It strengthens attachment, promotes emotional healing, and helps families rebuild safety and resilience through play, reflection, and co-regulation. For infant and young children, the focus is on helping parents understand how trauma affects development and guiding them in responsive caregiving. For toddlers and older children, sessions involve both parent and child, often using play to help the child express emotions and strengthen connection.
Individual Play Therapy
Individual play therapy is ideal for children 4-12 and serves children who experience behavioral problems, such as anger management, grief and loss, divorce and crisis or trauma. Our time together will include child and counselor play therapy sessions and separate dedicated time for caregiver supports.

Sometimes, it’s best for children and caregivers to work separately with the counselor. Play therapy helps children process emotions, regulate their nervous system, and strengthen relationships by integrating neuroscience, mindfulness, and attachment theory. Through attuned play, children learn to manage emotions, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills.
