When your child has intense reactions to seemingly small moments — a transition, a limit, a change in plans — it can feel confusing and overwhelming.
You may find yourself wondering why something minor leads to tears, anger, or shutdown.
What often looks like “overreaction” is a child feeling overwhelmed by something they don’t yet know how to manage.
Children express themselves through play, emotion, and relationships.
Therapy creates space to understand what your child’s behavior is communicating and helps you respond in ways that feel steadier and more connected at home.
What Therapy Looks Like.
→ Play therapy that helps children regulate from the inside out
→ Attachment-informed work that strengthens connection
→ Ongoing collaboration with parents and caregivers
→ Care grounded in your child’s developmental stage
