Counseling Services Offered by Epiphany and Company Counseling Services
Anxiety, Depression, and Big Emotions
Some kids feel worried, sad, or overwhelmed but don’t always know how to explain it. Our therapists help children name their feelings and learn healthy ways to cope.
Behavioral Challenges
If your child struggles with anger, defiance, or hyperactivity, we’re here to help. We also work with parents to create a plan that supports positive changes at home.
Life Transitions
From divorce to moving to new schools or siblings, big changes can be confusing. Our counselors guide kids through these tough moments with patience and care.
Self-Esteem and Social Skills
We help children feel good about who they are, make friends, and build the confidence they need to thrive—at school, at home, and in life.
Grief and Loss
Losing a loved one or a pet is hard for anyone, especially children. Our therapy sessions use age-appropriate tools like books and art to help kids process loss in a healthy way.
How Counseling Helps Kids
Every child is different, so our therapy is never one-size-fits-all. We use fun, creative activities like play therapy, storytelling, and drawing to make sessions feel natural and safe. With our support, children can:
- Understand Their Emotions
- Solve Problems Peacefully
- Feel Proud of Themselves
- Grow Stronger Mentally and Emotionally
We also work closely with parents and caregivers, giving you tools and tips to help your child at home.
