Big feelings in small humans.

Therapy and psychiatry made for children ages 4 to 10 and the parents raising them.

How therapy works for little kids

It doesn't look like adult therapy. It looks like play.

That's not a step down. That's the work.

Why play?

Kids process feelings through playbefore they can talk about them

Drawing, storytelling, puppets, and games help them work through fears, big emotions, and hard experiences in their own language.

Session length

30 to 45 minutes

Kids this age have shorter attention spans, and that's okay. We pace the work for them.

Parents

You'll be part of the work

For most kids in this age range, you'll be in some or all of every session. We'll coach you on skills to use at home.

What progress looks like

Change at home and school

You probably won't get deep insights from your 6-year-old. You'll notice fewer meltdowns. Easier mornings. Better sleep.
What we treat in this age range

From "off" to "really off" and lots in between.

Psychiatry for little kids

Rarely the first answer. Never the only answer.

Our psychiatrists work carefully. We try therapy and  behavior supports first. If medication does help, we  explain everything, start small, monitor closely, and adjust as your child grows.
You're part of every decision.
Tips for your first session

Five small things that make a big difference.

01

The day before

Tell them then — not weeks before. Avoid the build-up.
02

Frame it kindly

"A special grown-up who helps kids with big feelings."
03

Comfort item

A stuffed animal, a blanket, whatever helps.
04

Low-key after

A walk, a snack, quiet time. No big plans.
05

Don't quiz

Let them share if they want. Silence is okay.
Ready when you are

Let's help your little one feel like themselves again.
