Child Therapy
Supporting Young Minds through Compassionate Counseling
Childhood is a time of growth—but it can also be filled with challenges, big emotions, and experiences children don’t’ yet have the tools to understand. At Hopeology Wellness, we provide trauma-informed child therapy in Atlanta to help children navigate emotional, behavioral, and relational difficulties in a safe, nurturing environment.
Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, or changes at home, we’re here to support their healing with care, creativity, and clinical expertise.
What is Child Therapy?
Child therapy, also called child counseling or play therapy, is a specialized for of psychotherapy tailored to meet the unique developmental needs of children. We use play, art, storytelling, and age-appropriate talk therapy to help kids:
Process big emotions
Build health coping skills
Improve behavior and communication
Strengthen emotional resilience
Heal from trauma or loss
Children often express their thoughts through play, not words—so we meet them where they are with empathy, structure, and evidence-based strategies.

How Parent Involvement Works
Parent and caregiver participation is a key part of your child’s healing journey. We typically begin with a parent-only intake to understand your child’s history and your goals for therapy. Ongoing collaboration might include:
Regular check-ins
Coaching on emotional support strategies
Co-regulation tools for home use
Help navigating school or academic challenges
We work collaboratively with caregivers, offering guidance, parenting support, and regular updates to ensure your child’s progress continues outside the therapy room.
