Child Counseling

Helping Children Heal, Grow, and Thrive

Supporting Young Minds Through Compassionate Counseling

Childhood is a time of growth—but it can also be filled with challenges, big emotions, and experiences children don’t yet have the tools to understand. At Hopeology Wellness, we provide trauma-informed child therapy in Atlanta to help children navigate emotional, behavioral, and relational difficulties in a safe, nurturing environment.

Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, or changes at home, we’re here to support their healing with care, creativity, and clinical expertise.

What Is Child Therapy?

Child therapy (also called child counseling or play therapy) is a specialized form of psychotherapy tailored to meet the unique developmental needs of children. We use play, art, storytelling, and age-appropriate talk therapy to help kids:

• Process big emotions

• Build healthy coping skills

• Improve behavior and communication

• Strengthen emotional resilience

• Heal from trauma or loss

Children often express their thoughts through play, not words—so we meet them where they are with empathy, structure, and evidence-based strategies.

Common Reasons Parents Seek Therapy for Their Children

You may want to consider therapy if your child is experiencing:

• Anxiety, worry, or fears

• Emotional outbursts or meltdowns

• Trouble adjusting to divorce, school, or moves

• Bullying or social difficulties

• Sleep or eating issues

• Loss of a loved one or pet

• Trauma, abuse, or neglect

• Developmental or behavioral concerns (e.g., ADHD)

It’s never too early—or too late—to help your child build the foundation for a healthy emotional future.

Our Trauma-Informed, Developmentally-Aware Approach

At Hopeology Wellness, all of our child therapists are trained in trauma-informed care and developmentally appropriate modalities like:

• Play Therapy

• Expressive Arts

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for children

• Attachment-focused approaches

• EMDR (for older children and teens, when appropriate)

We workcollaboratively with caregivers, offering guidance, parenting support, and regular updates to ensure your child’s progress continues outside the therapy room.

How Parent Involvement Works

What Parents Are Saying

Parent and caregiver participation is a key part of your child’s healing journey. We typically begin with a parent-only intake to understand your child’s history and your goals for therapy. Ongoing collaboration might include:

• Regular parent check-ins

• Coaching on emotional support strategies

• Co-regulation tools for home use

• Help navigating school or academic challenges

“My daughter was struggling with anxiety and constant worry. After a few sessions at Hopeology Wellness, she’s more confident, sleeps better, and is able to express herself in a healthy way. The therapist was amazing with her—and with me.”
