Child Therapy
Child Therapy in Houston
Is Your Child Struggling Emotionally?
Is your child experiencing behavioral challenges or emotional regulation difficulties? Has your child experienced a traumatic event that has left him/her in an unhealthy emotional state? Or perhaps you are concerned that your child isn’t reaching the appropriate developmental milestones for their age?
What is Child Therapy?
Child Therapy (typically ages 3-8)
Like adults, children aren’t excluded from trauma or challenges in life. Unlike adults, however, children process and heal from their pain through the language they know most fluently: play. For our younger children, even as young as age three, we use a child-centered play therapy (CCPT) approach to their sessions. CCPT is a research-based modality that helps children who are experiencing social, behavioral, emotional and relational disorders.
Child Therapy (typically ages 8+)
Therapy for older children will likely include a hybrid of play and talk therapy, where the most appropriate modality will be identified on a case-by-case basis. Common issues that older children may face include:
Anxiety
Identify
Behavioral challenges
Social pressures
Emotional regulation difficulties
Trauma
Note: Only in-person sessions are available for therapeutic services involving children.

OUR PROCESS
How The Process Works
Free Consultation
Sign up for a free, 15-minute consultation through the request form at the bottom of this page.
You will be contacted to schedule your consultation.
During your consultation, you will have the opportunity to explain why you are seeking therapeutic services as well as have the opportunity to hear more about the counseling department. During this call, you and the therapist will be able to identify if your needs can be met through the counseling department, and if you mutually decide to proceed with scheduling your first appointment.
First Session
Once your first appointment has been scheduled, you will receive information pertaining to the informed consent paperwork. You will also be asked to complete a document on your basic background information to submit prior to your first session, which will further inform your therapist on your specific needs and history.
Finally, payment information will be collected for your file, although you will only be charged after each scheduled session time.
During your first session, your therapist will review informed consent documents and you and your therapist will collaborate to identify your specific treatment goals and plan.
Meeting Treatment Goals
Once your treatment goals have been met, your sessions will begin phasing out until treatment is no longer needed.
