Child Therapy

You’re Not Alone — And Your Child Doesn’t Have to Be Either

When your child is struggling, it can feel overwhelming; like you're carrying the weight of their pain without knowing how to ease it. Whether it’s big emotions, behavioral challenges, or something you can’t quite name yet, you're doing your best to help them through it. The truth is, so many families face these moments, and needing support doesn't mean you've failed. It means you're human. At Insight Northwest Counseling, we’re here to walk beside you. With the right tools, care, and connection, your child can feel better and so can you.

Support That Grows With Your Child

Therapy offers children more than just a space to talk. It gives them tools they can carry for life. With the guidance of a compassionate therapist, kids learn how to understand their feelings, express themselves in healthy ways, and navigate challenges with greater confidence.

Over time, therapy can lead to noticeable improvements in mood, behavior, relationships with family and peers, and even success in school. Whether your child is facing anxiety, acting out, or simply needs help managing big emotions, we’re here to support their growth every step of the way.

Family Therapy

A Gentle, Child-Centered Approach

At Insight Northwest Counseling, we meet children where they are: emotionally, developmentally, and relationally. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based methods like Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-informed care to create a supportive and effective environment for healing.

We believe that children heal best when their families are part of the process. That’s why we include parents and caregivers every step of the way, offering guidance and collaboration to support your child’s growth beyond the therapy room.

Each child is unique, and so is their care. We tailor treatment plans to your child’s age, personality, and specific needs making sure they feel safe, heard, and empowered to make positive change. We also take a team-based approach when needed, coordinating care with other providers or educators to ensure your child is supported in every part of their life.

What to Expect When You Start Therapy With Us

We know that starting therapy can feel like a big step for both you and your child. Our goal is to make the process simple, supportive, and welcoming from the very beginning:

  1. Free Consultation

  2. Intake & Assessment: We’ll gather information about your child’s history, needs, and goals to guide their care.

  3. Therapist Match: Your child will be paired with a therapist experienced in working with their age and presenting concerns.

  4. Comfortable, Safe Spaces: Our therapy environments are designed to be calm, inviting, and child-friendly.
