Individual Child Therapy

ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT FOR WHATEVER YOUR KID IS GOING THROUGH

Our kids today face countless challenges unique to their generation — social media pressures, academic competition, and the emotional work of figuring out who they’re becoming. At Blueprint Mental Health, our goal is to let kids be kids while giving them tools to manage the complex world around them.

In Individual Child Therapy, children meet one-on-one with a therapist in a space that feels comfortable and safe — a place where they can express themselves freely, explore emotions, and learn how to handle life’s challenges.

Meeting Kids Where They Are

We know every child is different. Some are shy and need gentle encouragement; others are energetic and expressive. Our therapists tailor each session to your child’s temperament and needs, helping them feel seen and understood.

Through play, art, and conversation, we teach children how to identify and express feelings, solve problems, and build coping strategies for stress, anxiety, or sadness.

What We Work On

  • Anxiety and fears
  • Mood changes or irritability
  • School stress and perfectionism
  • Social struggles or bullying
  • Family changes like divorce or relocation
  • Difficulty managing anger or frustration
  • Low self-esteem or confidence

How It Works

In individual sessions, your child gets one-on-one support from a therapist trained in CBT, DBT, and play therapy. These sessions may look like games or creative projects — but beneath the surface, powerful emotional work is happening.

Children learn:

  • To name and understand emotions
  • To replace negative thinking patterns with balanced ones
  • To calm their bodies through mindfulness and grounding
  • To build problem-solving and communication skills
  • To feel proud of themselves for handling tough situations

Keeping Parents in the Loop

While sessions remain confidential to protect your child’s trust, we’ll always collaborate with you when appropriate. We share tools and insights so you can reinforce progress at home. Therapy works best when kids and parents are moving in the same direction.

Blueprint isn’t a clinical office — it’s a space that feels welcoming and playful. From the décor to the energy of our clinicians, everything is designed to make kids feel comfortable. When children feel at ease, therapy becomes something they look forward to, not something they dread.

The Blueprint Difference

Parents trust Blueprint because we focus on connection first. We believe real healing begins when a child feels emotionally safe. Our therapists combine advanced clinical skills with genuine warmth, humor, and creativity to build that bond.

Each session is about more than symptom relief — it’s about helping kids grow into confident, resilient versions of themselves.

Getting Started
