Child Counseling: Guiding Kids Through Life’s Changes

Childhood is full of transitions, emotions, and challenges. As kids grow, they experience big feelings that they don’t always know how to express. Sometimes they act out, withdraw, or struggle to navigate friendships and school. That’s where we come in.

At Wellnest Counseling, we help children ages 9-12 understand their emotions, develop confidence, and build healthy coping skills—all in a safe and supportive environment.

How We Help

Your child may benefit from counseling if they are experiencing:

• Frequent mood swings, anxiety, or outbursts

• Struggles with friendships or social interactions

• Defiance, rebellion, or difficulty following rules

• Changes in sleep, appetite, or increased stress

• Big life transitions, such as a move, divorce, or school change

• A general loss of joy in things they once loved

You’re not alone in wondering if your child’s behaviors are “just a phase” or something more. We’re here to help you figure that out.

Our Approach

Kids aren’t just little adults—they need therapy designed specifically for them. Our sessions use activity-based and play-based techniques to meet children where they are developmentally. Through guided conversations, interactive activities, and structured play, we help kids:

• Express emotions in healthy ways

• Build self-confidence and problem-solving skills

• Develop resilience and coping tools for stress and anxiety

• Strengthen family relationships and communication

We believe that therapy works best when parents are involved, so we also provide parent consultations to keep you informed and supported.

What a Session Looks Like

• 45-55 minutes of engaging, structured activities tailored to your child’s needs.

• A safe space where your child can talk, play, and express emotions freely.

• Parent consultations to provide guidance, answer questions, and offer tools to support your child’s progress at home.

Support for Your Child, Guidance for You

Every child deserves a space to be heard, understood, and supported. Whether your child needs help with anxiety, behavior struggles, or emotional regulation, we’re here to walk this journey with you.
