Enhance Your Child’s Strength &
Confidence Through Child Counseling
Big feelings sometimes come packed in little bodies. It’s our job to untangle those emotions, understand learning and social difficulties, and get your child back on track in school, with having fun, and being a happy kid again.
Let’s Talk About it!
Does your child sometimes struggle to express their true self, manage their emotions, or navigate social situations? They’re not alone! Child counseling provides a safe, nurturing environment for young minds to explore their challenges and develop healthy coping mechanisms
Through play therapy, creative activities, and open communication, our therapists can help your child understand and express their feelings, address learning difficulties, build emotional resilience, and develop essential life skills. This can lead to improved self-esteem, stronger social connections, and a brighter outlook on life.
Our Treatment Methods ** CLient will need to confirm modalities
Play Therapy
This is the most common approach used in child therapy, especially for younger children (ages 3-12). Play therapy utilizes a child’s natural language of play to explore their inner world, express emotions, and work through challenges.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
CBT helps children to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that often contribute to emotional and behavioral difficulties. While CBT is typically adapted for use with children, it shares commonalities with the adult approach, and can also equip children with essential skills for managing ADHD.
How Can Child Counseling Help?
Is your child a whirlwind of emotions, a social butterfly struggling to connect, or maybe a little artist expressing themselves in ways you don’t quite understand? Child counseling isn’t just about fixing problems – it’s an adventure in helping your child blossom. Through play therapy, art, and even silly games, our therapists become your child’s partner in untangling big feelings, building confidence, and developing learning skills.
Improve Emotional Regulation
Through play therapy and discussions, children learn relaxation techniques, self-soothing strategies, and positive self-talk to better regulate their emotions and stay focused on important activities.
Parental Involvement
By attending sessions, implementing learned techniques at home, and maintaining open communication with a counselor, you can create a supportive environment for your child’s growth.
Reduce Behavioral Issues
Child counseling can address behavioral problems like tantrums, aggression, or defiance, and promote positive behavior patterns while helping to develop strategies for positive reinforcement and redirection.
Improve Focus & Concentration
Child therapy can address difficulties such as ADHD and help children develop better focus and concentration skills. Through play therapy, CBT, and mindfulness, children can learn to manage distractions and improve focus.
Achieve Academic Success
By addressing emotional and learning challenges, child counseling can improve a child’s academic performance by promoting greater focus in learning environments and an increased love of learning.
Build Stress Management Skills
At Revive, our therapists teach children how to manage stress through relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and self-regulation strategies to manage stress and promote overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Child counseling utilizes play therapy where we provide a safe space for children to express themselves through play, talk, and creative activities. Our therapists use these methods to help children address challenges like learning difficulties, coping with emotions, behavioral problems, and many other issues that often affect children.
The format of a child counseling session can vary depending on your child’s age and needs. However, sessions typically involve playtime with the therapist, followed by a brief check-in with the parent or guardian to discuss the child’s progress and any concerns.
It’s normal for children to feel apprehensive about starting therapy. Talk openly about how counseling can be a safe space for your child to express themselves and feel better. You can also schedule a consultation session with us beforehand to allow your child to meet their therapist in a relaxed setting and ask any questions they might have.
The decision to use medication for your child’s mental health concerns is typically made by a psychiatrist (sometimes upon recommendation of a pediatrician) in collaboration with your child’s therapist, but you as a parent or guardian always have the final decision. Keep in mind that therapy can be a powerful tool for developing coping mechanisms and emotional regulation skills, but medication may be necessary in some cases.
