Some children can sit and talk about what's weighing on them. Others show you instead: through the picture they draw, the game they choose, the scene they create with figurines in the dollhouse. A teenager might open up in the middle of a conversation about something else entirely. At Grow and Bloom Counseling, we start by paying attention to how your child communicates, and then we meet them there. There is no single method that works for every young person, so rather than fitting your child into one approach, we build the approach around your child. Therapy will include a combination of play, art, skill-building, and parent involvement. We help children and teens learn to recognize what they're feeling and name it, notice their early warning signs before things escalate, build a set of strategies that actually work for them, tolerate discomfort without being overwhelmed by it, and recover after a difficult moment.
