Children & Teens Counseling

Because growing up isn’t easy – and neither is parenting. But you don’t have to do either alone.

Emotional support for every age and stage.

From first-day-of-school jitters to social pressure, sibling conflict, or silent anxiety – every child carries more than we see.

Good Therapy Counseling offers specialized support for both children and adolescents – designed to meet them where they are, in a way they can actually connect with.

Because therapy for kids shouldn’t feel like therapy. It should feel like trust. Like play. Like permission to feel, ask, and grow.

for Children & Pre-Teens

Big feelings in small humans.

Our therapy with children focuses on helping them express emotions, process stress, build self-esteem, and feel safe in their world.

We use a variety of approaches – including:

  • Play-based therapy
  • Art therapy
  • Simple talk therapy
  • Family sessions
  • Parent support strategies

Children PreTeens

Whether it’s anxiety, behavioral challenges, family transitions, ADHD, or school stress – our therapists are trained to create space for kids to open up in their own way, at their own pace.

Psychological Testing

We offer psychological & Neurological testing

Sometimes, there’s more beneath the surface – and testing helps us understand what’s really going on.

We offer assessments for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other concerns – giving you and your child the clarity and support you both deserve.

For ad·o·les·cents

Ad·o·les·cence (noun): the in-between. Not a child. Not yet an adult.

This phase comes with shifting identities, emotional highs and lows, peer stress, and internal pressure. And sometimes, a deep desire to just not talk about it.

That’s why our therapists are trained in relationship-driven approaches that build trust first. We don’t force conversation – we create space for it to unfold.

We help teens:

  • Navigate anxiety, depression, and self-esteem
  • Manage school stress and social pressure
  • Explore identity, boundaries, and emotions
  • Work through family or peer conflict
  • Build coping strategies they can carry forward

 

Adolescents
Family Therapy Too

Family Therapy Is Available Too

We know these challenges don’t happen in a vacuum. That’s why we offer family therapy sessions as part of the support plan – whether it’s to bridge understanding, improve communication, or strengthen relationships across any age or life phase.

Helping, healing, and working together – for positive results.

You’re doing your best. And we’re here to support the rest.
