child therapy in nc
Helping kids feel understood, supported, and confident again
Kids don’t always have the words to explain what’s going on inside. Instead, you might see changes in behavior, mood, sleep, school performance, or relationships.
Maybe your child seems more anxious lately. Maybe their big feelings feel bigger than usual. Or maybe something difficult happened, and you’re noticing the impact now.
Whatever brought you here, you’re in the right place. At Flourish Wellness, we offer therapy for kids that’s compassionate, developmentally appropriate, and designed to help your child feel safe, seen, and supported.
When your child is struggling, you feel it too

our approach with kids
Children learn and communicate differently than adults, which means therapy needs to look and feel different too. At Flourish Wellness, we use a combination of:
.
play therapy
Children process emotions through play. It helps them make sense of their experiences, build coping skills, and express what they may not have words for yet. We use a variety of techniques using play, art, and other creative expressions to help support your child!
cognitive behavioral therapy CBT for kids
Skills-based, age-appropriate strategies that help kids understand their feelings, manage behaviors, and build confidence, no matter what their need may be!
Trauma Therapy for Kids
When a child has been through something overwhelming, we offer trauma-informed care that helps them feel safe, supported, and empowered. Your child will work with a trained childhood trauma therapist who understands how trauma impacts the brain and body through techniques such as TF-CBT and EMDR.
