Individual Therapy: Helping children and teens Feel supported
When a child or teen is struggling with emotions, behavior, or relationships, it can affect every aspect of their life—and the entire family. Individual therapy at Pure Wellness Therapy provides a safe, supportive space where kids can process their feelings, learn coping strategies, and build confidence.
We work with children and adolescents ages 3-18, tailoring each session to their developmental stage, personality, and needs. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD/ADD, trauma, or simply having a hard time adjusting to life’s changes, therapy can help them feel understood and supported.
What happens in individual therapy?
Individual sessions are one-on-one with a licensed clinician and may include:
Talking through feelings and experiences in a safe, nonjudgmental space
Engaging in play therapy or expressive arts activities to help younger children communicate in ways that feel natural to them
Practicing coping strategies, mindfulness, and emotional regulation skills
Building problem-solving and communication skills to strengthen relationships at home and school
Learning to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors
