Helping children ages 3-17 with family changes like divorce and separation, and equipping parents with the tools to build awareness around their child’s emotional needs.
Divorce, separation, or blended families can create complex emotional landscapes for children and teens. These young minds often struggle to express their feelings and fears during such transitions, feeling isolated and lost.
When parents separate or blend families, children and teens often struggle to express their feelings and
needs. The pressure can feel overwhelming, leading to confusion and fear about their place in the family
and their parents’ love.
However, there is help.
We offer specialized therapy designed for children and teens navigating family changes like divorce and separation. Our approach combines understanding, strategy, and skill-building to help young people manage their emotions and communicate effectively.
With our support, children learn to articulate their feelings and needs, leading to improved relationships and a greater sense of self-worth.
Divorce or separation can make children feel stuck and worried. Divorce therapy helps them handle these feelings of loss by letting them explore and understand their emotions.
We’ll help them boost their confidence, learn new social and academic skills, and develop a deeper awareness of who they are.
Divorce or blending of families often brings significant changes to a child’s life. Divorce therapy helps children process and adapt to these changes by allowing them to explore and make sense of their new family dynamics in a safe and supportive environment.
Divorce therapy can ease out of control worries. It gives kids a structured and reassuring place to express themselves, making them feel secure and better able to cope with uncertainties.
Divorce therapy can include sessions with parents, making the family bond stronger. It helps parents and children connect better, creating a supportive family during and after life’s big and small changes.
Kids know when you’re not being honest.
We talk to them like real people who need someone to be there for them as they are walking through challenges and teach them new ways of being with their peers, their parents, and themselves.
We believe that everyone has the power to heal within themselves including our children, and it’s our job to point each child in the right direction on their journey to healing.
At Power Within Child Therapists, we empower children to realize that they can face tough situations and come out stronger. They discover that their situation doesn’t define them – they can go through hard times and still be OK, or even better! We work to reframe the challenges, uncertainties and big feelings life may bring while helping parents and children to feel loved, more confident, and supported through all of it.
We are goal-oriented, focused on helping you and your child reach a place of confidence and peace, and we help you do the work to make that possible.
All parts of you are welcome here. We explore all that you or your child bring into therapy, taking time to embrace every emotion and experience as a vital piece of the healing process.
Healing can be fun, and it can also require endurance. We guide you through every stage of the process, celebrating success and navigating challenges together every step of the way.
Every family and child is unique, and your therapy journey should reflect that! We adapt our approach to fit YOU so that your experience is as effective and meaningful as possible.
We believe that you are the hero of your life and have the freedom to live the way you want. We offer flexibility in treatment and tailor the goals to match. Feeling free, allows change with ease and gets faster results.
Integrity just does not cut the magnitude of our standards of care. We hold ourselves to the highest of ethics and do whatever is best to support you on your journey with respect, dignity, and safety.
On the other side of challenges – you can be OK… or even better.
We meet with you and your child to understand where they are now, what challenges they are facing, and what the ideal result looks like for you & your child after therapy.
We create a treatment plan that speaks to your family’s needs and your child’s specific concerns. We work at a pace your child can handle and give you strategies to manage outside of therapy.
Together, we help you learn tools and strategies that help you move toward your goals for your child and family. We take it one step at a time and re-evaluate often.
Our comprehensive approach supports the entire family and helps create a dynamic
that works for everyone. In addition to play therapy, the process may include:
Tailored stories that match parents’ values and personality, improving family communication when big changes occur to help your child adjust to change in healthy ways and develop secure relationships.
Support for parents to teach your family’s values, handle tough questions about divorce or loss, manage screen time, and/or administer discipline.
Personalized counseling to help parents cope with the emotions that are getting them stuck and find ways to grow and model self esteem, healthy relationships, and their values to their children.
Using Theraplay© principles to strengthen the parent-child bond by creating a secure and nurturing environment.
Therapeutic interventions to help families function better as a unit, promoting resilience, and healthier relationships.
Guidance for separated or divorced parents on effective co-parenting, ensuring stability, and support for children.
Child Therapists play a vital role in supporting a child’s well-being during these difficult times, but there are also limits to what they can do when the court is involved. This includes providing legal advice, determining custody arrangements, as well as taking the side of one parent over another.
