Therapists for Children in Vail, AZ
Our life is a map and when we experience a roadblock, like a death or other significant life change, it can stop us in our tracks. Such changes can leave us feeling lonely, angry, hopeless and grieving. We are looking for clarity and validation that we are not alone. I have moved through many of these roadblocks myself and I understand how debilitating grief is. I also know the value of having a safe space to share where all feelings are acknowledged and validated. My background is in medical social work, specifically Palliative Care and Hospice.

I help people who are grieving a death and need someone who understands loss. You want to grieve well, make sense of what has happened, and find tools for living in a world that feels different. I also support people living with a terminal diagnosis—offering a space to talk about the sadness, anger, and unfairness of it all. In our work together, there is room for the difficult conversations and for the small moments of humanity that still exist, including laughter. Grief isn’t limited to death—it can follow lost dreams, shifting identities, broken relationships, or life changes that came before you were ready.

See More Therapists FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviors change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
