What is Child Therapy?

Child therapy is a form of mental health support tailored to meet the developmental needs of children and pre-teens. It involves structured sessions led by registered therapists who specialize in helping kids understand and express their thoughts and emotions in healthy ways.

At LUWG, our child therapists are skilled in a wide range of approaches including:

Play Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for children
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Expressive Arts & Sand Tray Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

These techniques are carefully selected based on your child’s age, symptoms, and comfort level, helping them process emotions, build confidence, and cope with everyday challenges.
