What is Kids Therapy?

Kids therapy is a specialized form of counseling designed to help children navigate emotional, behavioral, and social challenges. Through age-appropriate techniques like play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy, kids can express their feelings, build coping skills, and develop resilience. At Roots Psychotherapy, we create a safe and supportive environment where children can thrive emotionally and socially.

How Can Kids Therapy Help My Child?

Kids therapy can help your child manage anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and social challenges. It also supports emotional growth, improves communication skills, and builds self-esteem. Whether your child is dealing with school stress, family changes, or peer pressure, therapy provides tools to help them cope and thrive. Our therapists tailor sessions to meet your child’s unique needs and goals.

What Ages Do You Work With in Kids Therapy?

At Roots Psychotherapy, we work with children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers. Our therapists are trained to adapt their approach to suit each child’s developmental stage, ensuring that therapy is engaging and effective. Whether your child is 5 or 15, we provide a safe and nurturing space for them to grow and heal.

What Techniques Are Used in Kids Therapy?

We use a variety of techniques in kids therapy, including play therapy, art therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness exercises. These methods help children express themselves, process emotions, and develop healthy coping skills. Our therapists create a fun and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable exploring their feelings and building resilience.

How Do I Know If My Child Needs Therapy?

If your child is struggling with big emotions, behavioral changes, social difficulties, or challenges like anxiety or depression, therapy can help. Signs your child may benefit include frequent tantrums, withdrawal from activities, trouble at school, or difficulty managing stress. At Roots Psychotherapy, we offer consultations to help you determine if therapy is the right step for your child.

What Should I Expect During My Child’s First Therapy Session?

During the first session, the therapist will meet with you and your child to discuss concerns, goals, and expectations. For your child, the focus is on building trust and making them feel comfortable. Sessions often include play, drawing, or conversation, depending on your child’s age and needs. We’ll work together to create a personalized plan for your child’s growth and healing.

How Long Does Kids Therapy Take to Show Results?

The timeline for seeing results in kids therapy varies depending on your child’s needs and goals. Some children show improvement after just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term support. Consistency and open communication between the therapist, child, and parents are key to achieving lasting progress. We’ll regularly review your child’s progress and adjust the approach as needed.
