Therapy for Child Anxiety
ANXIETYSupporting Children Who Struggle with Worries and Fears.
Childhood anxiety is common, but when worries start to interfere with school, friendships, or daily life, therapy can help. Children may experience excessive worry, avoidance of activities, physical symptoms like stomachaches or headaches, or difficulty sleeping. Recognizing these signs early and providing support can help children build confidence and healthy coping skills.

Identify and challenge anxious thoughts
Face fears gradually and safely
