Psychological Counseling & Wellness Center located in Camas, WA

Your Child’s Emotional Wellness Deserves Intentional, Holistic Support.

You know childhood shapes everything—from how your child connects with others to how they speak to themselves. And while kids are naturally resilient, they can also carry emotional struggles in silence—through anxious behaviors, big emotions, social withdrawal, or low self-esteem.

At In Touch Counseling™ Services, I offer child therapy that goes beyond behavior management. Using integrative methods like art therapy, play therapy, and nervous system-informed care, I help children process emotions, build confidence, and develop healthy coping tools in a way that feels safe, creative, and empowering.

This work isn’t just about “fixing” problems—it’s about nurturing long-term emotional wellness and supporting your child’s ability to thrive, now and into adulthood.

If you're a parent who values personalized, whole-child care and wants to invest in your child’s emotional future, you're in the right place.

Child Psychology

What is child therapy?

The team at In Touch Counseling Services focuses child therapy on giving each child what they need to thrive. While child therapy can be helpful for the parents because their child’s therapist can share specific insights and tools with them, the goal for child therapy is to support the child.

The team tailors the therapy to your child and their individual preferences. Their sessions might include:

With these tools, the In Touch Counseling Services therapist gives your child a way to express what they feel even when they may not have the vocabulary to articulate it. The safe, supportive space created during child therapy invites your child to release negative emotions and experiences they may have internalized.

Their therapist acts as both friend and guide, helping them better understand themselves and what they’re feeling.

What are the benefits of child therapy?

The team at In Touch Counseling Services offers child therapy to help children move past negative self-talk into emotionally intelligent, self-knowing, balanced lives. With therapy, children often experience increased:

Social skills and confidence
Focus and performance in school
Self-esteem
Self-monitoring and self-management
Mood balance
Awareness of their strengths and tools at their disposal

At the same time, child therapy helps to alleviate feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger, guilt, and more. Parents who have been seeking a way to help their child find it with child therapy.

Will I be present for my child’s therapy sessions?

It depends on what’s right for your child. Generally, the In Touch Counseling Services therapist invites parents into the first session. This helps the child feel safe and gives the parents an opportunity to share their insights with the therapist.

After that, it may be beneficial for you to wait outside the room during your child’s therapy sessions, depending on your child’s personal preferences and the therapist’s recommendations. In some cases, the freedom to share without fearing that they will disappoint you can be transformative for your child.

At every turn, your family’s therapist checks in with you and your child to ensure everyone feels comfortable and heard.
