Child Therapy in Atlanta
Children experience emotions deeply, even if they don’t always have the words to explain what they feel. At Restore Balance Atlanta, we offer compassionate, developmentally appropriate child therapy for children ages 5 and older. Our goal is to help kids express themselves, build confidence, and develop emotional tools that support them both at home and at school.
We create a warm, supportive space where your child can explore their thoughts and feelings safely through play, creativity, and connection. Whether your family is navigating anxiety, behavioral challenges, trauma, or big life transitions, our clinicians are here to guide your child toward healing, understanding, and balance.
Now accepting new clients for child and play therapy in Atlanta.
Children process emotions differently from adults. When faced with stress, change, or overwhelming feelings, they often communicate through behavior—acting out, withdrawing, or showing signs of worry, sadness, or frustration.
Therapy helps children:
Express difficult emotions in healthy ways
Strengthen coping and problem-solving skills
Build self-esteem and confidence
Improve communication and emotional awareness
Develop resilience through transitions such as divorce, school changes, or grief
With the right support, children can learn to understand their emotions and respond to challenges with greater confidence and calm.
Why Child Therapy Matters
Our Approach to Child Therapy
At Restore Balance Atlanta, our child therapy services are rooted in empathy, creativity, and clinical expertise. We believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and empowered to grow at their own pace.
Play Therapy
Play is a child’s natural language—and through it, healing happens. Our therapist trained in Play Therapy uses toys, art, storytelling, and role-play to help children express feelings they might not be able to put into words. Within this supportive and structured environment, play becomes a bridge to understanding, allowing your child to:
Explore emotions safely
Build trust and self-awareness
Strengthen problem-solving and social skills
Develop healthy emotional regulation
Parent Collaboration
We view therapy as a partnership. Parents and caregivers are invited to participate in the healing process through periodic check-ins, updates, and strategies to support progress at home. Together, we’ll help your child build tools that foster lasting growth and connection within your family.
What to Expect During Child Therapy
Sessions are 45–50 minutes and take place in a calm, child-friendly environment. Each session is designed to help your child feel secure, supported, and free to express themselves.
You can expect:
A gentle, nonjudgmental space that encourages creativity and play
Evidence-based approaches tailored to your child’s age and needs
Collaborative guidance for parents and caregivers
Consistent support for emotional growth and skill development
Whether your child is learning to manage anxiety, adjust to change, or process a difficult experience, therapy provides the stability and tools they need to thrive.
Is Therapy Right for Your Family?
Therapy may be helpful if your child is:
Showing signs of worry, sadness, or frequent meltdowns
Struggling with transitions such as divorce or moving
Having trouble sleeping, focusing, or adjusting to school
Displaying behavioral changes or social withdrawal
Expressing big emotions but struggling to manage them
If any of these sound familiar, know that help is available—and progress is possible.
