Growing up today can be challenging. Academic pressure, social media, friendships, and family changes can leave kids and teens feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
At Inner Compass Counseling, our goal is to create a space where young people feel heard, supported, and empowered to express themselves in healthy ways.
Children and adolescents often struggle to find words for what they’re feeling. Therapy gives them a safe environment to explore emotions, learn coping skills, and build stronger relationships with family and peers.
We support children and teens who are:
Experiencing anxiety or depression
Struggling with school stress or motivation
Dealing with family transitions or divorce
Facing bullying or peer pressure
Showing emotional outbursts or withdrawal
Adjusting to grief or loss
Our therapists combine evidence-based tools with creative, age-appropriate methods to help children and teens connect and grow.
We use approaches such as:
Play Therapy Techniques: to help younger clients express emotions through art, play, and storytelling
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): to build awareness of thoughts, feelings, and actions
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy): to encourage values-based decision-making and resilience
Mindfulness & Relaxation Skills: to manage stress and regulate emotions
Therapy sessions are collaborative and often include parent involvement to strengthen family communication and support progress outside of therapy.
As a parent, it can be hard to see your child struggling and not know how to help.
We partner with you to better understand your child’s needs, support healthy coping strategies at home, and build a consistent plan for emotional growth.
Together, we help families strengthen trust, improve communication, and foster a calmer home environment.
✓ Persistent sadness, irritability, or withdrawal
✓ Excessive worry or perfectionism
✓ Behavioral changes at home or school
✓ Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
✓ Sudden drop in grades or social withdrawal
If these signs persist, professional support can make a big difference in helping your child feel balanced and understood.
We believe every child and teen deserves a safe place to be heard and guided with compassion. Our clinicians are here to help young clients build tools for emotional strength that last a lifetime.
