Children, Adolescents, and Parenting

Supporting emotional growth in children and teens, with thoughtful
parent coaching

Raising a child isn’t easy—especially when big emotions, behavior struggles, or life changes get in the way. Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, attention issues, family transitions, or emotional outbursts, you may be feeling unsure of how to help. At Empower and Thrive Counseling, we support children, teens, and their caregivers with care that meets each child where they are—emotionally and developmentally.

For younger children, we offer telehealth play therapy, a creative and engaging approach that helps kids express themselves through storytelling, games, and activities—even from the comfort of home. Play is a child’s natural language, and even through a screen, it becomes a powerful tool to explore feelings, build coping skills, and create emotional safety.

For teens, therapy provides a space to sort through the pressures of identity, relationships, school stress, and mental health challenges. We focus on helping them build emotional insight, confidence, and tools to manage stress in healthier ways.

And because children don’t grow in isolation, we also offer parenting support—whether you're navigating behavior concerns, co-parenting dynamics, or just want guidance for how to best support your child. You don’t have to have all the answers—we’re here to partner with you.

Every child is different, and so is every path forward. Let’s work together to create a plan that helps your child feel seen, supported, and empowered.
