Therapy for kids
Helping kids balance emotions, manage stress, and communicate effectively.
Supporting kids and parents with in-person and online therapy in Bellevue, WA and across Washington state.
Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and understood. We’re here to help.
Childhood can be full of joy and discovery—but it can also bring challenges that feel overwhelming for both kids and parents. Big feelings, school stress, friendship struggles, or changes at home can leave children anxious, frustrated, or withdrawn.
At Alignwell Modern Therapy in Bellevue, WA, we offer child counseling for ages 6 and up by helping navigate these challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. Our child counseling services are designed to meet kids where they are, through play, creativity, conversation, and skills that fit their developmental stage.
We help children struggling with anxiety, depression, school challenges, trauma, self-esteem, perfectionism, and behavioral concerns. Parents are included in the process to ensure therapy supports the whole family.
When to consider child therapy:
Your child may benefit from counseling if you notice:
Frequent anxiety, irritability, or mood swings
School or behavioral struggles that impact daily life
Sleep or appetite changes linked to stress
Signs of low self-confidence, trauma, or self-harm
Support for the whole family.
Children don’t grow in isolation. That’s why we view parents and caregivers as essential partners in the process. Alongside individual sessions, we offer guidance for parents on communication, boundary-setting, and emotional support strategies.
Our goal is not only to help your child thrive—but to strengthen your entire family system.
