Child therapy

Because sometimes big feelings need small words and a safe space to land.
Kids don’t always know how to say what’s wrong. You may see it instead—in the anxiety, the outbursts, the shutdowns, the stomach aches, the school problems. But beneath the behavior is a story, and that story matters.
Child therapy is where we slow down, tune in, and help your child feel seen, safe, and understood. We use play, conversation, and evidence-based tools to explore what they’re feeling and why. We help them build skills—emotional regulation, healthy communication, self-awareness—not just survive the moment.
This isn’t about “fixing your kid.”
It’s about giving them room to grow, heal, and thrive—with you in their corner.
If your child is struggling, or if something just feels off, trust that instinct.
You don’t have to parent through it alone.
Let’s help them find their voice again—together.

Signs of Child-Centered, Developmentally Appropriate Therapy

A good child therapist doesn’t try to force adult methods on kids. Instead, they enter the child’s world with structure, insight, and clinical intention. Here’s what that looks like:

Z
The therapist uses play, not just talk.

Children express themselves through play long before they do through language. If therapy doesn’t include toys, art, movement, or creative methods—it’s probably missing the mark.

Z
Sessions are paced to match the child’s age and attention span.
A 6-year-old shouldn’t be expected to sit through a 50-minute deep talk. The format adjusts to what’s realistic, not just what’s standard.
Z
Emotional safety is prioritized over productivity.
The child feels respected, not rushed. The therapist tracks cues like body language, tone, and affect—building trust before diving deep.
Z
The goals are clear—but flexible.
A child-centered therapist keeps development in mind. Progress is measured not just in behavior change, but in emotional growth, coping skills, and self-regulation.
Z
The therapist collaborates with parents without turning sessions into lectures.
You’re kept in the loop. You’re given tools. But your child’s space is protected, and the therapy room is never used as a discipline extension.
Z
Sessions reflect your child’s language, interests, and current stage of development.
Whether that’s dinosaurs, Minecraft, anxiety about friendships, or questions about divorce—the therapy meets them where they are, not where we wish they were.
Z
There’s a plan behind the play.
What might look like a game or drawing exercise is often an intentional clinical intervention. A child-centered therapist knows how to use fun as a doorway to healing.
If the therapy feels warm, safe, engaging, and developmentally aware, it’s likely in the right ballpark.
If it feels stiff, rushed, or like it’s more about managing the parent’s expectations than serving the child—it’s worth asking questions.

What Our Clients Say

Valerie P

He is the only counselor I have felt completely comfortable with, and can share experiences without the fear of judgment. He has a way of expanding your thought processes, without being condescending. He gives tasks to use daily, to help you achieve a better mental status. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Alan M

I think the thing that Kevon is best at is guiding people to truth, but letting them find it for themselves. It’s easy to give advice; Kevon helps guide people to the wisdom they need, based in Biblical principles. I don’t know how to describe it better than that. He asks tough questions that make one think about what God wants for their lives, what they want themselves, and what are the healthy ways to achieve God’s best for our lives.

Susan B

I have been a therapist for over 25 years, and I have worked with Kevon for the last several years in a professional setting. I have seen him work effectively with a diversity of patients and at times a very difficult client base. His Christian values are a big part of what makes Kevon so good at what he does. He has incredible insight and can stand up next to the most seasoned of therapists. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to meet any of your mental health or counseling needs.

Amanda O

I thought Kevon was going to be older, but he’s younger and that’s cool. We have a lot of fun. It’s good to be really listened to. Thanks!

Brendan C

I wasn’t sure what to expect. I usually enjoyed the process. Every now and then he would bring up the word “confrontation”, and what he meant by that is he would call me on the stuff that I was trying to avoid or justify. There was times when I didn’t enjoy it. Today I am glad I met Kevon. Thanks.
