What this service entails
Children don't always have words for big feelings — so pediatric therapy meets them where they are. With younger kids we use play, stories, and games to practice brave behavior; with teens we use straight-talking CBT adapted to their world of school, friends, and screens.
Parents are partners in the process. You'll get regular updates, concrete coaching for home, and school-collaboration support when classroom accommodations would help.
What's included
- 45-minute sessions for ages 6–17, in person or online
- Social anxiety and difficulty making friendships
- Control, frustration, and emotional regulation skills
- Parent coaching and school collaboration
- Clear progress updates for the whole family
How pediatric therapy works

Step 02
Practice bravery
Play-based and CBT exercises build coping skills one small win at a time.
Step 03
Coach the team
Parents learn the same tools, so progress continues at home and school.
Who it helps
- Children who worry excessively, avoid school, or struggle to make friends
- Teens weighed down by social anxiety, perfectionism, or big emotions
- Families wanting practical tools, not just a place to vent
Children often respond quickly — many families see change in 8–12 sessions. Teens working through deeper anxiety or mood concerns may continue longer, with goals reviewed together each month.
