Individual Child Therapy

GROWING TOGETHER WITH OTHER KIDS WHO GET IT

When you’re struggling with mental health, it can feel terribly isolating. Knowing you’re not alone in this battle goes a long way. While individual therapy is powerful, group therapy allows your child to connect with peers who are working through similar challenges.

At Blueprint Mental Health, we offer Group Child Therapy as a space for kids to build community, learn skills, and feel supported. It’s a setting where children can discover that they’re not the only ones who feel nervous, angry, sad, or different—and that realizing this can be healing all on its own.

Why Group Therapy Helps Kids

Children learn best through interaction, and group therapy taps directly into that. Being around peers who “get it” normalizes their experience, builds confidence, and reduces shame. With a therapist guiding the group, kids practice communication, empathy, and emotional regulation in real time.

What to Expect

Our groups are small and age-appropriate so every child feels comfortable. Sessions often include games, creative exercises, and guided discussions that promote trust and emotional awareness. Kids learn how to:

• Handle anxiety or stress in social situations
• Communicate feelings effectively
• Manage frustration and impulsivity
• Build friendships and confidence
• Practice kindness and cooperation

Each group is led by a Blueprint clinician who ensures safety, inclusion, and positive group dynamics.

Topics We Explore

Groups may focus on themes like:

• Coping with anxiety or perfectionism
• Handling peer pressure or bullying
• Managing big feelings
• Improving self-esteem and resilience
• Navigating school stress or transitions

Every group is tailored to the developmental level and goals of the children participating.

Parent Involvement

While group sessions are confidential, we value keeping parents informed. After each cycle, therapists provide general feedback and strategies for continuing growth at home.

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.

We also offer Play Therapy, Child Group Therapy, and Child Parent Coaching / Support Sessions
