Specialized child therapists for children ages 2 - 14 years

At Anchor Child Therapy, the anchor serves as a guiding metaphor for our approach to supporting children and families. Just as an anchor provides stability and security in shifting waters, therapy offers a safe and grounded space for children to explore their emotions, build resilience, and find balance amid life’s challenges. Our role is not to stop the waves, but to help children feel steady and supported as they learn to navigate them with confidence and strength.

Developmentally Appropriate Practice

Play therapy is widely recognized as one of the most effective forms of therapy for children ages 2 to 14, as it leverages the natural medium of play to facilitate emotional expression and healing. 

Young children, in particular, often lack the verbal skills to articulate their thoughts and feelings, making play an ideal avenue for them to communicate and process their experiences. 

Through play, children can explore their emotions, work through their struggles, and develop problem-solving skills in a safe and supportive environment. 

Overall, play therapy not only addresses emotional and behavioral issues but also promotes lifelong healthy development, making it a powerful tool for children and adolescents.
