Child Therapists in Charlotte, NC
Every child yearns to be seen, heard, and understood.
I specialize in play therapy for ages 2.5 to 12. I allow the child to lead the play and make choices throughout the session. I model breath-work and mindfulness techniques in every session. I believe a child speaks best through their non-directed play. My role is to guide your child through their worries and back to their greatest gifts.

There are seasons in a woman’s life that ask everything of her—seasons of holding, of becoming, of quietly unraveling. It can feel like chapters rewritten mid-sentence—unexpected transitions, quiet griefs, or questions that echo late at night. You may be carrying old pain or present tension, unsure how to move forward. Whether you are a woman balancing the weight of invisible expectations, or a young woman navigating identity, relationships, or the ache of past wounds, or someone on the tender journey through pregnancy or postpartum, you deserve a space where your story can breathe.

Child Therapists
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.
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.
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 long are sessions with child therapists?
Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.
How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?
The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.
