Child, teen, and family therapy
Are you worried about your child? Are there behaviors you need help dealing with? Have you or your family recently experienced a change or loss? We are a kind and comfortable space near Salem, OR, uniquely designed to provide individual counseling for ages 5-18 and family therapy.
Our focus is to provide warm and intentional counseling for kids working through anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relational or behavioral issues, and change. We use a combination of play therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and neurospychotherapy to help kids and families understand how their brain works. Available at our Stayton office and virtually throughout Oregon, we work to build emotional strength and resilience through hope, help, and healing, so that internal growth leads to external change.

our 3 fold approach
-
Hope
Has your child or teen left you feeling upset, confused by their behaviors, or frustrated? Are they not acting like themselves? Maybe they are struggling to focus, crying easily, or having difficulty sleeping. Are they yelling, or do they seem withdrawn or angry all the time?
Or maybe you are not sure what is wrong, but something is off. It feels like there has been a shift. There has been a traumatic event, or a devastating loss. School or home feels really hard right now.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
We will listen and recognize areas of strength, courage, and resilience in you and your child. We create space to develop trust, a place to share, and a warm, honest friendship. We want to give you hope of positive change that can happen as we help address areas of concern.

Help
Everyone has a story. And that story matters. We tailor counseling interventions that meet the unique skills, needs, and strengths of your child. We carefully listen, ask questions, and look holistically at at all aspects and consider how your child is wired.
EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT AND EVERY STORY MATTERS.
We are trained in child development and how the brain works. Because of this we are able to use methods that speak a child or teen’s language. Whether through play, art, writing, building, nature, animals, or just talking, we allow kids to process, grow, and develop new positive rhythms. As these develop into habits, change begins to take root from the inside.

Heal
I just want my child to be better.
I don’t like the way this feels.
This doesn’t seem normal.
These are all common thoughts when children and teens are struggling. As we begin to build trust and develop a friendship, with your child will begin to develop a sense of safety, security, and confidence in facing challenges. This becomes evident in reactions, relationships, and decisions.
HEALING ALLOWS CHILDREN TO GROW AND THRIVE.
As real change begins to become evident, your child or teen will be able to overcome areas of struggle and be able to develop the ability to reach out and help others.
