THERAPY FOR KIDS

When Little Hearts Weather Big Storms

When your child hurts, your whole family feels the tremors. In our rapidly shifting world where screens compete with souls and busyness crowds out belonging, children are struggling to find their footing. Their nervous systems, still learning to regulate, can become overwhelmed by a world that moves too fast and offers too little of what growing hearts truly need.

If your child is struggling, it may show up as

constant conflict, paralyzing worry, explosive meltdowns, or quiet withdrawal into isolation.
—
Sleep becomes elusive.
—
School feels impossible.
—
Social connections fray.

These aren't signs of failure; they're signals that your child's inner world has become a storm they don't yet know how to navigate.

Therapy can help.

Our licensed therapists create a safe place where your child can explore their inner world without judgment. Using our RAIN approach, we help children:

Each session is individually designed to meet your child exactly where they are, honoring their unique spirit while gently guiding them toward greater self-understanding and confidence.

In this sanctuary, children discover they are not broken; they are simply learning to weather life's storms with Grace.

Our Approach

Therapy at AHA! begins with a two-part intake to help develop an individualized treatment plan built around your goals for your child and your child’s developmental needs.

Your child’s therapist will share their recommendations for the best approach to meeting your child and family’s needs that is always child-focused and individually designed.

Play & Creativity Lead the Way to Healing

    This approach involves both individual therapy with regular parent sessions to support your child’s progress over time.

  • SFBT is a short-term therapy approach that focuses on identifying strengths and resources to support specific goals to address challenges and find solutions.

    SFBT is often beneficial for event specific challenges i.e. transitions to a new school or college and mindset shifts following a non-traumatic setback.

    This approach typically involves a combination of Individual therapy & parent coaching sessions.

  • Relational therapies (i.e. DIR Floortime & Relationship Development Interventions (RDI) )help  build core engagement skills with You as their primary growth partner.  

    These approaches are family-focused and involve a child-parent model.
