Therapists for Children in Laurens, SC
You can’t remember the last time you had a good day. Anxiety and depression have taken away your freedom. You say “yes” when you want to say “no”. You feel like a doormat to your family and friends. Your trauma plays over and over in your mind. People's words determine your self-worth. You don't know who you are when your relationship falls apart. Grief stole the joy you once had. You have difficulty regulating yourself after a life adjustment. You sit and wonder what happened to the life you once loved, a life you worked so hard to build. If any of this sounds familiar... take a deep breath. I'm Katie, and I'm here to help.

I have advanced training in evidence-based and highly regarded treatments:
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD
Inference-Based Cognitive Therapy (I-BCT) for OCD
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for OCD and anxiety
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma
Theraplay—attachment therapy for children and parents
Relief is possible. Meaningful change is possible. For many living with OCD, anxiety, and trauma, years of trying to “get better” can lead to feelings of hopelessness. Yet evidence-based treatments can offer real, life-changing recovery. There are effective ways to fight back—not just to endure, but to flourish. Life can feel calmer and clearer, free from the relentless doubt of OCD. It can feel lighter, no longer dominated by the constant pressure of anxiety. And when past trauma no longer defines the present, life can be lived with greater ease, safety, and confidence.

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.
