Child & Adolescent Trauma Therapy

​

Compassionate Support for Healing Young Hearts

​

When a child or teen experiences trauma—whether through abuse, loss, bullying, family conflict, or medical issues—it can deeply affect their ability to feel safe, connected, and emotionally balanced. At our practice, we specialize in helping children and adolescents heal from trauma in a way that honors their story, builds resilience, and restores hope.

 

Why Trauma Therapy for Kids and Teens?

​

Children and teens often express trauma differently than adults. You might notice:

• Increased anxiety, fear, or mood swings

• Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares

• Emotional outbursts, aggression, or withdrawal

• Struggles at school or changes in appetite

• Regression (clinginess, bedwetting, etc.)

• Risky behaviors or self-harm in adolescents

These responses aren’t “bad behavior”—they’re survival responses. Trauma therapy helps your child feel safe, process what they’ve been through, and develop healthy ways to cope.

 

How We Help

 

Our trauma-informed approach creates a safe, nurturing environment where children and teens can begin to heal. We tailor therapy to each child’s developmental needs and personality, using gentle, creative, and effective methods to help them:

• Understand and express their emotions

• Develop coping skills and build resilience

• Heal from traumatic experiences without reliving them

• Strengthen their sense of identity and self-worth

• Rebuild trust and safety in relationships

A Few Of The Therapy Modalities We Use

 

We offer trauma-informed therapy for children and adolescents using creative, evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's needs:

​

• Attachment-Based Therapy – Focuses on strengthening the caregiver-child bond and repairing early relational wounds.

• Play Therapy – Uses the natural language of play to help children express emotions, build coping skills, and process trauma safely.

• Sandtray Therapy – A nonverbal, hands-on method that allows children to explore and make sense of their inner world using miniature figures and sand.

• Expressive Arts Therapy – Incorporates art, music, movement, and storytelling to support healing and emotional expression in creative, age-appropriate ways.

• TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) – A structured, evidence-based approach that helps children and teens process traumatic memories, build coping skills, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

 

Each modality is thoughtfully integrated based on your child’s age, personality, and therapeutic goals to support meaningful and lasting healing.
