Therapy for Kids & Teens
At Sarah Cline & Associates, we understand that growing up comes with its own set of challenges.
Our warm and empathetic approach ensures that kids and teens always feel safe, welcomed, and understood. We work with children and teens (ages 10 and up) experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, loss, and self-esteem issues.
Our goal is to provide a supportive space where young people can express themselves freely and work through their struggles with confidence. counseling for kids

Expert Support for Kids & Teens
Our Approach
We believe in guiding our young clients with compassion and without judgment.
Our therapists help kids and teens understand their feelings better and develop effective strategies to manage them.
We use various therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), always tailored to the client’s needs.
We focus on building a trusting relationship, where young clients feel comfortable and empowered to take the lead in their sessions. Whether it’s through talking, playing board games, or taking a walk, we provide a flexible approach that meets each child where they are. counseling for kids
A Typical Session
During a 55-60 minute session, your therapist will provide a safe space for your child to express their feelings and concerns. We listen closely without judgment and offer gentle support and guidance.
Sessions may include:
- Checking in on how the past week has been
- Discussing current thoughts and feelings
- Using activities like board games, walks, or stories to facilitate conversation
- Teaching and practicing mindfulness and coping strategies
- Assigning “homework” to practice skills at home
Our compassionate counselors are here to support your child through their journey, helping them feel empowered and hopeful. At Sarah Cline & Associates, your child is not alone.
Together, we can navigate the challenges of growing up and work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.
