Your Child Deserves Support Too. Therapy for Kids Ages 5 and Up.
At Holistic Consultation, we offer thoughtful, developmentally appropriate therapy for children as young as five. We help children with big feelings build coping skills, and feel more confident at home, at school, and with peers.
We also support parents who are feeling tired, unsure, or overwhelmed and with schools to support your child’s growth. You do not have to figure this out alone.
How therapy can help
Children may benefit from therapy when you notice:
- Big feelings, frequent meltdowns, or shutdowns
- Anxiety, worries, or fears
- Difficulty at school or school avoidance
- Trouble with focus, attention, or impulse control
- Challenges with friendships or social skills
- Low confidence or negative self-talk
- Changes after stress, loss, or major life transitions
Sometimes parents reach out because something “just doesn’t feel right.” That’s enough reason to ask for support.
Our Approach
Children communicate differently than adults. Therapy should meet them where they are.
Our clinicians use gentle, evidence-based, and trauma-informed approaches that may include play, movement, creativity, and skill-building. Sessions are structured but flexible, allowing children to feel safe and understood.
We focus on:
- Emotional regulation and coping skills
- Understanding thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
- Building confidence and self-awareness
- Supporting attention, organization, and flexibility when needed
Therapy is not about “fixing”. It’s about helping to feel capable, supported, and understood.
We’ll collaborate with you.
Support for parents and caregivers
Many parents come to us feeling exhausted, worried, or unsure if they are doing the “right” things. That is very common.
We work collaboratively with parents by:
- Offering guidance you can actually use at home
- Helping you better understand your child’s needs
- Reducing power struggles and daily stress
- Supporting you through school or behavior concerns
- You will not be blamed or judged. We partner with you.
- We support your child’s success
- Collaboration with schools
When helpful and appropriate, we collaborate with schools to support your child’s success.
This may include:
- Helping parents think through school concerns
- Supporting communication with teachers or school staff
- Providing guidance related to emotional or behavioral needs
- Assisting with understanding accommodations or supports
Our goal is to help children feel supported across settings, not just in the therapy room.
What to expect at the first appointment
The first session is designed to feel welcoming and low pressure.
We will:
- Learn about your child’s strengths and challenges
- Listen to your concerns and goals
- Explain how therapy works for children
- Begin building trust with your child at their pace
Some children talk right away. Others take time. Both are okay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child really needs therapy?
If your child’s emotions, behaviors, or stress are affecting daily life at home or school, therapy can help. You do not need to wait for things to feel “serious.”
Will I be involved in my child’s therapy?
Yes. Parent support and communication are an important part of children’s therapy. The level of involvement depends on your child’s age and needs.
What if my child doesn’t want to come to therapy?
That is very common. Our therapists are experienced in helping children feel comfortable and safe without forcing conversation or participation.
Do you work with schools?
Yes, when appropriate and with parent consent. We aim to support children across environments and help parents navigate school-related concerns.
How long does therapy last?
Every child is different. Some children benefit from short-term support, while others may need longer-term care. We regularly review progress and goals with families.
