Many parents reach out because they see their child struggling with anxiety, big emotions, behavioral challenges, school stress, or family changes such as divorce or conflict. Your child may shut down, act out, or feel overwhelmed and not know how to express what they are feeling. As a parent, you want to understand what is happening and help your child feel calmer, more confident, and supported while strengthening your connection as a family. I often work with children who struggle with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and family transitions.
I specialize in working with children (ages 6–10), teens, and families using play therapy, sand tray, attachment-based therapy, and parent coaching. My trauma-informed approach integrates IFS, CBT, and EMDR-informed work to help children process emotions, develop regulation skills, and strengthen parent–child connection.
Seeking help for your child takes courage and care. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. Therapy can help your child feel understood while supporting you with tools to strengthen connection and emotional safety at home. When you’re ready, I warmly invite you to reach out.
Take the first step to help. Call or Claudia Matar de Brun now - (858) 723-0871
