Teen & Child Therapy
A Safe Space Where Young People Can Be Honest
Behavioral challenges, school anxiety, trauma, self-esteem struggles — age-appropriate therapy in an environment where kids and teens feel genuinely safe to open up.
When Your Kid Is Struggling and You Don't Know How to Help
You've tried talking. You've tried consequences. You've tried giving space. But something is going on with your child and the usual approaches aren't working. Maybe they're withdrawing. Maybe they're acting out. Maybe they came to you with something you don't know how to handle.
At Lotus Rose, our therapists who work with young people understand that kids and teens don't process emotions the way adults do. They need a different approach — one that meets them at their developmental level and gives them tools they can actually use.

Common Questions
Teen & Child Therapy FAQs
What ages do you work with at Lotus Rose?
Our therapists work with children, teens, and young adults. The specific age range depends on the therapist — some specialize in children dealing with behavioral challenges, ADHD, and grief, while others work with teens navigating trauma, anxiety, body image, and self-harm. Contact us and we'll match your child with the right therapist.
How do I know if my child needs therapy?
Signs your child may benefit from therapy include persistent behavioral changes, withdrawal from friends or activities, declining grades, excessive worry or fearfulness, angry outbursts disproportionate to the situation, sleep problems, self-harm, talk of death or suicide, difficulty adjusting to divorce or family changes, or a noticeable personality shift. Trust your instincts — if something feels off, a free consultation can help you decide.
Will I know what's discussed in my child's sessions?
Confidentiality is important for building trust with your child. Your therapist will communicate with you about general progress and any safety concerns, but specific session content stays between your child and their therapist. This is what allows young people to open up honestly. Your therapist will explain this clearly at the start of treatment.
What therapy approaches do you use with teens and children?
We use age-appropriate adaptations of EMDR, ART, IFS, CBT, DBT, ACT, and experiential therapy. For younger children, this may include play-based elements. For teens, we use the same evidence-based modalities as adults but tailored to their developmental stage and communication style.
