Child therapy isn’t just adult therapy with simpler language. It’s a specialized process that honors how kids and teens experience the world. At Therapy Lab, we meet children where they are developmentally and involve parents as key partners in their progress.
We begin with a collaborative intake to understand your child’s needs and your goals as a parent. From there, we design a flexible plan that may include sessions with your child, with you, or with both of you together, depending on what will be most helpful.
Play and expressive activities are central for younger children, giving them tools to explore emotions in ways that feel natural and safe. For older kids and teens, therapy includes a mix of direct conversation and creative approaches to keep them engaged while respecting their growing independence.
Your therapist serves as both a guide for your child and a resource for you. You’ll receive practical tools and age-appropriate insights to support your child between sessions, while your child gains emotional vocabulary, awareness and coping strategies to build long-term resilience.
Therapy Lab clinicians hold advanced degrees in clinical psychology, clinical child psychology, and related science-based clinical practices, with specialized training in child development and family systems. Their approach combines evidence-based techniques with developmental expertise to create engaging therapeutic experiences that meet children where they are emotionally and cognitively. By the end of treatment, families typically report improved communication, enhanced emotional regulation, and greater confidence navigating developmental challenges.
