Children's Therapy

Children’s Therapy at Ad Astra Per Aspera Counseling
Nurturing young minds through creativity, connection, and compassionate care.

At Ad Astra Per Aspera Counseling, we recognize that childhood comes with its own unique set of joys and challenges. Whether your child is navigating anxiety, behavioral struggles, trauma, family transitions, or emotional regulation, our experienced team is here to help.

Our clinicians have extensive training and experience in working with children, adolescents, and families. We understand that children often express themselves differently than adults, which is why we offer a variety of developmentally appropriate therapeutic approaches designed to meet them right where they are.

We integrate a range of effective, evidence-informed tools and techniques, including:

• Play Therapy – to help children process emotions, develop coping strategies, and build self-confidence through the language of play.
  
  

• Art Therapy – allowing young clients to explore feelings and experiences through creative expression.
  
  

• Sandtray Therapy – offering a safe, symbolic space for children to express thoughts and emotions that may be hard to verbalize.
  
  

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – a gentle and effective method for helping children process traumatic or distressing experiences.
  
  

We work closely with parents and caregivers to ensure a collaborative and supportive approach to healing and growth. Our goal is to empower each child to feel safe, seen, and supported—both in the therapy room and beyond.

If you're concerned about your child’s emotional or behavioral well-being, we’re here to help. Let’s work together to build resilience, strengthen connection, and foster hope—one step at a time.
