Chrysalis Counseling Service

Therapy for Young Children

Ages 4 to 10

Counseling with young children looks very different than counseling with adults. Children often have a hard time putting their feelings into words.  Therefore, when seeking a counselor to work with your young (ages 4-10) child, you may want to look for one that specializes in working with young children. These therapists are trained to utilize specialized techniques such as play therapy, sand tray, dolls, and therapeutic games. Utilizing these child-friendly techniques enables a child to safely express experiences they have been through and how they feel about them.
