Child Therapist

Child Therapy in Oakland

Grief Therapy California | Relationship Counseling | Liberty Through Therapy
Children feel emotions deeply, but they don’t always know how to express them. Some kids act out, while others become quiet and withdrawn. As a dedicated Child Therapist in Oakland, I help children work through big feelings, build confidence, and develop healthier ways to cope.

When Should You Consider Therapy for Your Child?

· Frequent meltdowns or mood swings

· Trouble making or keeping friends

· Anxiety or fear that affects daily life

· Difficulty focusing in school

· Loss of interest in favorite activities

If your child seems stuck in a cycle of stress or sadness, therapy can help. My goal is to create a safe space where kids feel heard, valued, and empowered.

What Happens in Therapy?

I take a child-friendly, personalized approach to therapy. Sessions may involve:
· Play Therapy – Kids express emotions through play, making it easier to understand their feelings.
· Talk Therapy – For older children, we use guided conversations to explore thoughts and emotions.
· Coping Strategies – I teach practical tools to manage anxiety, anger, and frustration.
· Parent Guidance – I work with parents to help them support their child’s emotional growth at home.

The Right Support at the Right Time

Every child deserves a chance to feel happy and understood. Whether your child is struggling with stress, grief, or social challenges, I tailor therapy to their unique needs. I believe in fostering resilience so kids can navigate life’s ups and downs with confidence.

What Parents Ask Most

How do I know if my child’s behavior is normal or a sign they need therapy?
Some emotional ups and downs are part of growing up. But if your child’s struggles last for weeks or disrupt daily life, therapy might be a good step. Trust your instincts.
Yes! Therapy isn’t just about talking. I use play, art, and storytelling to help kids express themselves in ways that feel natural to them.

Absolutely. If you’re experiencing complicated grief, where emotions feel overwhelming or won’t go away, counseling can help you process these feelings in a healthy way.

Every session is different. You’ll talk about your feelings and explore how grief is affecting you. Your counselor will guide you through your emotions and help you find ways to cope.
If you’re struggling with grief and feel like you can’t move forward, grief counseling can help. It’s for anyone who feels stuck or overwhelmed by loss. If you’re unsure, reach out for a consultation.
