Navigating childhood and adolescence can be tough. From anxiety and depression to significant life changes like divorce or loss, young individuals often face emotional challenges that hinder their growth.

This can show up through behaviors such as tantruming, withdrawing from a parent, lying, trying to control others, bottling up their emotions, or negative self-talk. This can be overwhelming for both you as the parent and for your child.

I’m Carly Schrimpl, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and owner of Power Within Child Therapists. For the past 13 years, I’ve been providing counseling for children and their parents.

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Play Therapy, Mindfulness, and Family Systems Theory to help children gain the skills and resources they need to know what to do when facing discomfort, learn to embrace challenges, and love themselves!

I also offer one-on-one parent support, because I believe that meaningful and powerful changes occur when caregivers are involved.

Here’s how to get started with counseling for your child.

Step 1: Fill out the new appointment form on our website.

Step 2: We’ll have a 20-minute chat with you to understand their situation and determine if we’re a good match.

Step 3: If it’s a good fit, we’ll schedule the first session and start the counseling journey.

Therapy for children experiencing big emotions or big changes in their family system can have a lasting effect on how they view the world.

At Power Within Child Therapists, we offer comfort in a time of emotional need and give them a space to say the things that are making them feel hurt, disconnected, or alone in the world.

If you’re ready to help your child take the first step towards a brighter, healthier future, schedule an appointment with us today. We’re here to help.
