Why Choose Grace Counseling for Your Child's Therapy?
The Grace Approach for Kids
We know the idea of therapy can be scary and uncomfortable for young kids. That's why we adapt our counseling techniques to make it a fun time of the week they can actually look forward to.
Play-Based & Creative Therapy
Children don't always have the words to express their pain. We use play, art, and creative activities to help younger children "speak" their emotions in a language they understand.
Outdoor Therapy: Room to Move
For many kids and teens, sitting in a small room feels like being in a principal's office. Our expansive field and outdoor patio allow for "walk-and-talk" sessions where the movement of the body helps open up the mind.
Meet Our Furry Co-Therapists
Nothing breaks the ice like a wagging tail. Our resident therapy dogs are available to sit in on sessions, providing a calming presence that helps children and adults alike feel right at home.
Supporting the Whole Family
We Walk with Parents, Too
You are the most important person in your child's life. While your child's sessions are a private space for them, we provide parent consultations to give you the tools, strategies, and "Grace" you need to support their progress at home.
