Where Play and Healing Come Together
Helping children and their families grow in their connection, confidence, and communication.
More effective communication
Reduced challenging behaviors
Stronger family connections
You feel like you have tried so many things to support your child’s emotions and it’s just not working.
Whether it’s related to behaviors, communication, or connection, we’re here to help!
Behavior or emotions that feel difficult to manage.
You’ve been doing your best to help your child regulate by reassuring and encouraging them, acknowledging their feelings, and supporting them. We help uncover what the behavior is trying to communicate to help your child feel better understood.
You’re worried about communication struggles.
You’re tired of miscommunications getting in the way of everyday tasks and interrupting time together. We help you learn how to speak so kids will be more likely to listen and help your child learn how to communicate their feelings, wants, and needs.
Your relationship with your child is not where you want it to be.
You’re having a hard time connecting because you’re at a loss of what to do with big behaviors or feel dysregulated and exhausted from the struggles. We help foster connection between children and caregivers to help decrease some of the daily stress.
A little about us.
Child Counseling Corner strives to help children explore and express their emotions through the power of play and connection.
Child Counseling Corner was created to provide a safe space for children and their caregivers to connect, learn, and grow as they navigate the complexities of life. We believe that behaviors are trying to communicate a need not being met and work in collaboration with parents, teachers, and other adults in a child’s life to help them understand how to best help make changes to help meet these needs.
We focus on the power of connection and play to get to the root of what is happening for the child and help them feel seen, heard, and understood. Meaningful relationships are a key part of helping children grow emotionally, so those, in combination with their natural language of play is the best recipe for cultivating change in their lives.
