Connect with a Child Therapist in Dallas, TX

Children communicate through play. They often don't possess the verbal skills or emotional development to express complex feelings, which is why we incorporate play into each session. As the child plays, the counselor will observe and listen, learning about their unique feelings and providing guidance to help them process them.

Our team of licensed child therapists possesses extensive experience and expertise in child psychology, play therapy, and family counseling. They are passionate about helping children and have a deep understanding of the challenges they face. Our therapists are warm, caring, and non-judgmental, building trust-based relationships with children to ensure a successful therapeutic journey.

We understand that it can feel difficult to explain therapy to a child. We recommend being honest. Tell your child, in an age-appropriate manner, that they are going to see a counselor---for example, someone who is a "feelings helper," or someone who helps a lot of kids with their worries and mixed-up feelings.

You can also talk to us ahead of time about broaching the subject with your child---we can guide you based on your specific situation.

Whether or not parents are present during therapy depends on the specific goals you have, the challenges your child needs to overcome, and the techniques the counselor will use. We welcome you to speak to your child's therapist about these goals and ask questions about the play techniques involved in pursuing them.

For individual therapy, the session will be between the child and the counselor. Then, our therapists work closely with the child and their family to create a personalized treatment plan to address emotional, behavioral, and social challenges.

For family counseling, we focus on family dynamics, which involves bringing everyone together. Our family counseling sessions foster open communication and understanding between family members, promoting a positive and nurturing home environment.
