Watching your child navigate complex emotions can be heartbreaking. That’s where professional therapy becomes a positive experience for your whole family.

Child Therapy Services

Our child therapy services are built on the understanding that children and teenagers think and behave differently from adults. Apparent defiance may be anxiety. What seems like attention-seeking could be a child’s way of communicating that they’re feeling uncertain or misunderstood.

Our experienced therapists look beneath the surface to understand the unique emotional needs of young people.

Child Therapy

Through therapy techniques like play, creative expression, and age-appropriate interventions, we help children develop emotional and coping strategies and awareness that will serve them well throughout their lives.

Teen Therapy and Adolescent Therapy
Our teen therapy specialists understand the balance between appreciating adolescents’ growing independence while providing the support and direction they need.

At La Plata Family Therapy, we create a caring environment where teenagers can discover their feelings, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build confidence in their ability to deal with life.
