Supporting Your Child’s Emotional Growth with Play Therapy

Therapist supporting teens with anxiety and self-esteem in Eden Prairie

Is your child facing anxiety at school or struggling with behaviors at home? Kids often express their emotions through behaviors like tantrums, withdrawal, or anxiety. Therapy for children can help them build self-esteem, manage trauma, and develop healthy coping skills.

Common Questions About Therapy for Kids

  • I work with children ages 5 and up who may be experiencing anxiety, behavioral challenges, or other emotional difficulties. My Eden Prairie office provides a welcoming, child-friendly environment where kids can explore their feelings through play therapy and other supportive approaches.

  • Play therapy is a powerful, research-based approach that uses the natural language of children—play—to help them express their emotions and work through challenges. As a Registered Play Therapist™ (RPT), I integrate creative interventions that make therapy both effective and engaging for kids. Learn more about play therapy by visiting the Association for Play Therapy.

  • Every child is unique, so the length of therapy varies based on their needs and goals. Some children benefit from short-term therapy (8-12 sessions) focused on a specific issue, while others may need longer-term support. We’ll work together to create a plan that’s right for your child.

  • Absolutely. I believe that involving parents and caregivers is key to helping children succeed. We’ll collaborate through regular check-ins and parent guidance sessions to keep you informed and supported, while respecting your child’s confidentiality.
