Kids counseling provides a safe, supportive space where children can express feelings, build coping skills, and develop emotional resilience. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, behavior challenges, school stress, or family changes, working with a licensed child therapist can make a lasting difference.

What Is Child Therapy

Counseling for Kids—also known as child therapy—is a specialized form of mental health support designed specifically for children and pre-teens. Because children often communicate differently than adults, therapy may include:

  • Play therapy

  • Art and creative expression

  • Storytelling

  • Skill-building activities

  • Age-appropriate talk therapy

A licensed child therapist helps children identify emotions, improve behavior patterns, and build healthy coping strategies in a way that feels natural and engaging.

Sessions are available in person in Bend or through secure telehealth platforms across Oregon.
