"Mindfully Healing embraces a personal growth based model unlike a problem or deficiency based model of traditional mental health... Our clients experience this during their first session."
We offer a range of therapeutic services tailored to meet the unique needs of children and adolescents. Our individual therapy sessions provide a private and secure environment where young clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. In these one-on-one sessions, we address various issues, including anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems, allowing children and teens to process their emotions and develop coping strategies.
We also provide group therapy, where young clients can connect with peers facing similar challenges. This collaborative setting fosters social skills, empathy, and shared understanding, making it easier for them to navigate their feelings. Additionally, we recognize the vital role that families play in a child’s development. Our family therapy sessions aim to improve communication and strengthen relationships within the family unit, creating a supportive environment for growth and healing. For younger children, play therapy serves as an effective means of expression, allowing them to communicate their feelings and experiences naturally and comfortably through play. Together, these therapeutic approaches ensure a holistic support system for every child and adolescent we work with.
Effective Treatments
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior.
CBT is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.
If you or someone you know would benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, please reach out today. We would be happy to speak with you about how a Mindfully Healing therapist may be able to help.
Play Therapy for Children and Adolescents
Play therapy offers children a unique and effective way to process their emotions, especially when they struggle to express themselves verbally. Through guided play, children can safely explore difficult feelings such as anxiety, grief, or anger, and communicate them in a way that feels natural to them. This process encourages healthy emotional expression, helping your child to better understand and articulate their thoughts and feelings.
In addition to emotional expression, play therapy equips children with valuable coping skills, allowing them to manage stress, anxiety, and behavioral challenges more effectively. As they engage in play, they develop problem-solving abilities, improve their social interactions, and build confidence. Over time, these skills lead to better emotional regulation and healthier behaviors both at home and in social settings. With the guidance of a trained therapist, play therapy empowers your child to heal, grow, and thrive emotionally.
Other Clinical Specialties
Family-Based Counseling
Family-Based Therapy (FBT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on addressing and resolving psychological and emotional issues within the context of the family unit. It is widely used to treat various mental health and behavioral problems, and its effectiveness has made it a popular choice for families seeking help and support.
Counseling for Trauma
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.

At Mindfully Healing, we believe that every child and adolescent deserves a safe space to express themselves, explore their feelings, and develop the tools they need to thrive. Our dedicated team of licensed therapists is committed to providing compassionate and effective therapy tailored to the unique needs of each young individual.
We understand that children and teens face a variety of challenges, from academic stress to emotional struggles.
