Child and Youth Therapy
Child and youth therapy provides specialized support for children and adolescents facing emotional, behavioral, or social challenges. Our therapists are trained to work with young people using age-appropriate approaches that respect their unique developmental needs and communication styles.
At Insight Psychotherapy, we understand that children and youth may express their struggles differently than adults. Our therapists create a safe, welcoming environment where young people can explore their feelings, develop coping skills, and build resilience through play, art, talk, and other therapeutic modalities.
