Child & Teen Anxiety Therapy in Littleton, CO

Helping Children and Teens Build Confidence, Regulation, and Emotional Resilience

Is your child constantly worrying, avoiding school, or overwhelmed by everyday challenges? Anxiety in kids and teens is common—but it doesn’t have to take over their lives. With the right support, your child can learn to manage anxiety, build coping skills, and feel more in control of their emotions.

As a certified Synergetic Play Therapist in Littleton, CO, I specialize in anxiety therapy for children and teens, using developmentally appropriate, body-based, and neuroscience-informed approaches that help kids heal from the inside out.

What Therapy for Anxiety Looks Like

Children and teens struggling with anxiety often feel like their emotions are too big or overwhelming. My approach focuses on helping kids understand what’s happening in their bodies and brains—and supporting them in processing difficult emotions, re-patterning their nervous systems, and building emotional regulation skills.

Using play therapy and Polyvagal Theory-informed techniques tailored to your child’s age, development, and interests, therapy sessions may include both directive and non-directive work. This allows your child to express feelings safely, practice tolerating distress, and try out new skills in a supportive environment.

Through sessions, your child will:

• Understand the root causes of anxiety and panic

• Express emotions that may feel overwhelming or confusing

• Develop healthy coping skills for stress, frustration, and fear

• Increase emotional regulation and confidence

• Rebuild self-esteem and feel empowered in their choices

• Navigate life transitions with more ease

How Therapy Works

Sessions generally begin on a weekly or biweekly basis to provide consistent support and structure and are conducted in-person. Over time, as your child progresses, the frequency may decrease to biweekly or monthly sessions. Each session lasts 40 minutes with your child, followed by a 10-minute parent check-in where I share insights from the session, offer strategies for home, and support you in becoming a confident co-regulator. I also provide visual tools, handouts, and resources to use between sessions so therapy progress continues outside the office.

Session Cost: $155 per session
Sliding Scale: Limited spots are available—please reach out to inquire about availability for sliding scale rates or free counseling options.
