Child Counseling

Child counseling services provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can express themselves, process their experiences, and develop healthy coping skills through age-appropriate methods. Children experience the world differently than adults, and they need therapeutic approaches designed specifically for their developmental stage.

We understand that children communicate through play, art, stories, and movement rather than traditional talk therapy. Our counselors are trained in play therapy techniques that allow children to work through their feelings naturally. We address issues like anxiety, behavioral challenges, family changes, school difficulties, trauma, and emotional regulation in ways that feel engaging and non-threatening to young minds.

Our approach centers on building a trusting relationship with your child while also involving you as parents in the healing process. We use creative interventions, games, art supplies, and storytelling to help children understand their emotions and develop problem-solving skills. We also provide parents with strategies and insights to support their child's growth at home.

You can expect your child to look forward to sessions, gradually develop better emotional regulation, improved communication skills, and increased confidence. Parents often see positive changes in behavior, mood, and the child's ability to handle challenges. We keep parents informed about progress while respecting the therapeutic relationship with your child.

Our approach

IFS

Internal Family Systems recognizes that each family member has different parts of themselves that show up in family interactions, and helps them understand and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.

EFT

Emotionally Focused Therapy helps children and families develop healthier ways of relating to their feelings and experiences.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, adapted for children, works with the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, giving practical tools to challenge negative thinking patterns.

Common questions

Where do you offer child counseling?
In person at our Katy office, and by secure video anywhere in Texas. Each location page lists the counselors there who provide it.
Do you accept insurance for child counseling?
We do not bill insurance directly. We provide a superbill after every session, which you can submit to your insurer for out-of-network reimbursement. Many plans reimburse a substantial share; your own benefits decide how much.
Can I talk to someone before booking child counseling?
Yes. Every counselor offers a free 15-minute consultation call, so you can ask questions and get a sense of fit before committing to a session.
