Therapy for Kids and Teens in Spanish Fork and Orem

Growing up is hard. Sometimes kids and teens need extra support along the way.

A safe place to grow

Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, depression, school stress, behavior challenges, a recent trauma, or a big life change, therapy gives them a safe place to work through emotions and build resilience.

Our therapists specialize in working with children and adolescents. We use age-appropriate approaches that help kids express themselves, build coping skills, and get along better at home and school, and we involve parents along the way so the whole family feels supported.

How we work with kids and families

Depending on your child’s age and needs, our therapists may use Sandtray Therapy, Child-Centered Play Therapy, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or Structural Family Therapy. We’ll match your child with a therapist whose training is the right fit, so you get the best help without losing time.

Therapy can help kids and teens:

Manage stress, emotions, and behavior in healthy ways
Build confidence and self-esteem
Improve communication and problem-solving
Strengthen relationships with family and friends
Work through painful experiences and grow from them

Therapy with kids and teens can be playful, deep, emotional, and practical, sometimes all in the same session. We love this work and the chance to help your child feel understood, capable, and supported.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my child needs therapy?

Watch for ongoing changes in mood, behavior, or how your child is functioning, like withdrawing, more irritability, trouble at school or with friends, or emotional struggles that aren’t getting better. If you’re concerned, therapy can offer guidance for both your child and your family.

What happens in therapy sessions?

Sessions are tailored to your child’s age and needs. Younger kids often work through play, creative activities, and gentle guidance. Teens usually talk through experiences and learn coping and problem-solving skills, often with art, games, or whatever helps them feel at ease.

Will I be involved as a parent?

Yes. Parents are an especially important part of the process. We’ll keep you updated on progress, share parenting strategies when helpful, set goals together, and ask you to join some sessions.

How long does therapy take?

Every child is different. Some families find a few sessions help with a specific concern, while others benefit from ongoing support. We’ll build a plan that fits your child and works for your family.

Is therapy only for serious problems?

Not at all. Therapy helps with everything from everyday stress and school pressure to bigger emotional or behavioral challenges. It’s also a great way to give your child tools for resilience, confidence, and healthy relationships.
