Children

When children struggle, it can affect the entire family. Whether your child is experiencing big emotions, behavior challenges, school difficulties, or anxiety and worry, early support can make a lasting difference. At PFPA, we offer therapy for children that is compassionate, playful, and tailored to their unique developmental needs.

Our child therapists are trained to work with children of all ages, from toddlers to preteens. We begin by building a warm and trusting relationship, creating a safe space where your child can express themselves freely—through conversation, play, or creative activities. From there, we work on helping them develop skills like:

  • Emotional regulation
  • Problem-solving and decision-making
  • Coping with stress, anxiety, or anger
  • Social skills and peer relationships
  • Focus and organization for school success

We know that parents and caregivers are essential partners in the process. That’s why we provide regular communication, guidance, and strategies to help you support your child’s progress at home.
