Individual Therapy at Child Therapy Boston
Child Therapy Boston offers individual therapy for children and teens in Needham, Sudbury, Belmont, and online.
We understand that seeking individual therapy for your child or teen can feel overwhelming. Many families come to us feeling stressed, worried, or unsure of how best to support their child. You want the very best for your child—and you don’t have to navigate this alone. We’re here to help.
At Child Therapy Boston, children and teens are given a safe, supportive space to explore their thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels comfortable to them. Our therapists meet each child where they are, building trust and connection while helping them better understand themselves and their emotions.
Our clinicians use child-centered, developmentally appropriate approaches, including:
- Play
- Art Therapy
- Bibliotherapy (using books and stories in therapy)
- Writing
- Relaxation techniques
- Skill-building
- Mindfulness
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for children and teens
- Role-playing
- Music Therapy
- Improv
- Expressive Arts
- Dance and movement
Each child will find a warm, welcoming environment where they can work through stressors, challenges, and big emotions. Through therapy, children and teens build meaningful coping skills to add to their “toolbox” for life, fostering emotional growth, resilience, confidence, and improved self-esteem.
Our approach to therapy is thoughtful, collaborative, and individualized for each child and teen we work with. We believe that meaningful change happens when parents are included in the therapeutic process, which is why we prioritize open communication and practical skill-building that can be carried into everyday life. We understand that choosing a therapist for your child is a leap of faith, and that trust means everything to us. We are honored to support your family every step of the way.
