Children

Overview

Our therapists offer comprehensive psychotherapy services to children between the ages of 3-12. Therapy sessions for children are offered both in-person or via teletherapy. Our child therapists have specialized training in child development and clinical psychology. We use an integrative approach tailored to meet each child’s developmental needs. Our therapists gather information about presenting concerns, relevant history, and personal strengths in order to collaborate with parents in creating an individualized treatment plan. The goal of child therapy is to help children learn healthier modes of emotional and behavioral expression, foster the development of problem solving skills, increase self-awareness, and improve interpersonal relationships.

Our Approach

At Balanced Insight, we provide a warm, safe environment that offers a variety of therapeutic approaches and techniques, and select the approach that best fits your child’s needs. These interventions include, but are not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and play therapy.

Parents play an integral, active role in their child’s therapy and we value parents as vital partners in their child’s treatment. Therapists, in collaboration with parents, will discuss and evaluate progress and areas for continued growth.  When appropriate, our therapists can also support parents and the child through contact with school staff and other treatment providers for coordination of care.
