Specialized Therapy Services for Younger Clients

Children and adolescents experience the world differently than adults, which means they will need a different approach to therapy. We specialize in working with children and teens, making sure they receive the same level of care as any adult who walks through our doors.

A Compassionate Approach for Young Minds

Often, children and adolescents express their feelings in ways that may not quite align with the way adults communicate. As a parent, wanting to help our children but not knowing how can be especially difficult.

Our therapists are trained to use developmentally appropriate methods, such as play therapy, talk therapy and other creative activities. This allows our younger clients to express themselves in ways that make them feel comfortable and gives us a deeper understanding of their thoughts and feelings.

Play therapy is especially useful for younger clients, as they are able to use toys, games and storytelling to express their complex emotions, when they may not have the words for them. Talk therapy, however, is often better for adolescents who are learning how to articulate their thoughts and emotions on a deeper level.

Our Mindful and Client-Centered Approach

No matter the age of the client, we believe in therapy that is rooted in compassion, mindfulness and mutual respect. We empower children and teens by creating a space where they feel heard, valued and supported. Whether they are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply navigating the challenges of growing up, our therapists are here to guide them every step of the way.

At Shiloh Counseling, we are committed to building up every individual who walks through our doors. Let us provide the support your child or adolescent needs to thrive.
