Is Your Child Feeling Stuck and Overwhelmed?
Children can face many challenges as they grow up. Sometimes, these challenges can make them feel stuck, frustrated, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next. This is normal, but it’s not something your child has to face alone. Our therapists can help them gain insight into what’s going on and learn how to move forward.
We Take a Holistic Approach to Healing
Our bodies operate as one entity, which means mental health is closely linked to whole body health. When children are struggling, they might also experience physical symptoms. That’s why our therapists take a holistic approach to treatment. We want your child to feel good again.

Feeling Overwhelmed

Difficulty Concentrating

Child Therapy Chicago

Get Your Child’s Life Back On Track
Lots of factors can contribute to a child’s mental health issues. Perhaps your child is dealing with a major life change. Maybe they’ve experienced a relationship breakdown, are grieving someone, are struggling with school or friendships, have had a scary health diagnosis, or are processing a trauma. Your child doesn’t have to continue to suffer, and they don’t have to walk this path alone. We’re here to help.
Our team has deep experience in helping children process things like stress, anxiety, and depression. We can help your child deepen their self-awareness, understand their triggers, implement healthy boundaries, resolve conflicts, and learn new coping techniques. We provide a warm and welcoming space where your child can express themselves freely. All you have to do is let us know what they need.
How Therapy for Children Works
One of the most effective ways to help children work through their issues is through talk therapy and play therapy. In the first session, your child’s therapist will ask them a number of questions and may also engage them in play activities to understand what’s going on in their life, how it’s affecting them, and what they need from their treatment. From there, the therapist will develop a treatment plan customized to your child’s personal needs. Each session will be confidential, just between your child and their therapist, allowing them to express themselves through conversation or play, and work towards a brighter future.
