"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
Counseling for New Mothers
For new moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.”
For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening.
Therapists who have extensive education and training in post-partum disorders understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.
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.
Grief & Bereavement Counseling
Bereavement and grief aren’t light-hearted topics. Bereavement refers to the process of recovering from the death of a loved one, and grief is a reaction for any form of loss. Both encompass a wide range of emotions such as fear, anger and deep, deep sadness.
The process of adapting to a loss can dramatically change from person to person, depending on his or her background, beliefs, relationship to the person who’s passed, and other factors.
Common symptoms of grief can be physical, emotional or social.
Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, Mindfully Healing can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get relief from the anxiety that you deserve.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
