Childhood should be full of exploration, play, and growth — but for many children, anxiety can become an overwhelming challenge. From trouble sleeping to fears about school or social situations, anxiety shows up differently for every child. At Blueprint Mental Health in Somerville, NJ, we specialize in child anxiety treatment that helps kids feel safe, supported, and confident.
Understanding Anxiety in Children
Anxiety is one of the most common mental health concerns in children, but it’s also one of the most treatable. Common signs include:
-
Excessive worry about school, friendships, or safety
-
Physical symptoms like stomachaches, headaches, or difficulty sleeping
-
Avoidance behaviors — refusing to attend school or try new activities
-
Emotional outbursts or irritability when facing transitions or uncertainty
If your child is struggling, you’re not alone — and support is available.
Our Approach to Child Anxiety Treatment
At Blueprint, our team of 14 highly trained clinicians uses evidence-based therapies designed to help children and families manage anxiety effectively.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Through CBT, children learn to recognize and challenge anxious thoughts while developing healthy coping strategies.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
ERP helps kids face their fears gradually, in a safe and structured way, so they can build confidence and resilience.
Parent Coaching and Family Support
Anxiety impacts the whole family, so we involve parents through Parent Coaching. We’ll equip you with tools to support your child both inside and outside therapy.
Collaborative Care
We work closely with school counselors, psychiatrists, and pediatricians to provide comprehensive support tailored to your child’s needs.
