Supporting Your Child's Emotional Well-Being

“I’ve tried everything, why is nothing working?”

If this thought feels familiar, you're not alone. As a parent, it can be heartbreaking to see your child struggle with big emotions, behavioral challenges, or sudden changes. You've been patient, gentle, firm, done everything you can think of and still, something feels off.

At Haven Wellness Therapy, I offer play therapy as a gentle, developmentally appropriate approach to support children's emotional health. Play therapy builds on the natural way that children learn about themselves and their relationships in the world around them. Children often lack the words to express their emotions, but they do have play. Through play therapy, children can explore complex feelings, navigate challenges, and make sense of their experiences in a safe, natural, and empowering environment.

Play therapy can support children who are:

  • Experiencing anxiety, sadness, or emotional overwhelm

  • Facing challenges with emotional regulation or behavioral issues

  • Adjusting to changes such as divorce, adoption, or the arrival of a new sibling

  • Dealing with stress related to school, friendships, or family dynamics

  • Affected by family fertility journeys or postpartum transitions

In our sessions, your child will:

  • Express thoughts and emotions through play-based activities

  • Develop emotional awareness and self-regulation skills

  • Enhance resilience and problem-solving abilities

  • Feel seen, understood, and supported just as they are

By providing children with the tools to express themselves, we lay the foundation for lifelong emotional well-being.
