At Child Therapy Lab, we believe every child deserves a warm and welcoming space where they feel safe, understood, and supported. What makes our practice special is the personal connection we build with each family—we don’t just focus on challenges, we celebrate strengths and help children discover their inner resilience. Our in-person sessions provide a comfortable, child-friendly environment where kids can learn healthy coping skills, express themselves freely, and grow with confidence. Parents often share that they feel less alone and more empowered after working with us, and we’re honored to walk alongside families on their journey. If you’re looking for compassionate care in a supportive setting, we’d love to connect and support your family.

Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) Builds skills in self-kindness and compassion toward others. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with shame or self-criticism.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Eclectic Therapy Draws from different therapeutic methods based on what fits each client best. It is flexible and personalized rather than following one single model.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.
Approach Description: At Child Therapy Lab, our treatment approach is grounded in creating a supportive and engaging environment where children and teens feel safe to explore, learn, and grow. We use a child-led, play-based approach to meet kids at their level, making therapy both meaningful and developmentally appropriate. Alongside play, our therapists integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help children understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotional regulation, mindfulness, and coping skills. By blending creativity with proven therapeutic methods, we tailor each session to the unique needs of the child, empowering them to build resilience, confidence, and healthier relationships both at home and beyond.
