Helping Children Feel Safe and Supported
Watching your child struggle can feel overwhelming, and it is natural to worry when you are unsure how to help. At Evergreen Therapy Center, we understand how heavy this can feel for families. Through child counseling in North Liberty, we support children whether they are able to talk about their feelings or are still learning how to express what is happening inside.
Our therapists focus on helping children feel safe and comfortable from the very beginning. Therapy is gentle and supportive, allowing children to express emotions in ways that feel natural to them. We take time to build trust so children feel understood rather than pressured.
Parents are an important part of this process. We listen closely to what is happening at home and at school while offering guidance that supports both your child and your family. Our goal is to help children build emotional awareness and coping skills while helping parents feel more confident and supported along the way.
Therapy Approaches We Use for Children
Play Therapy
Play therapy helps children express thoughts and emotions through play rather than words alone. At Evergreen Therapy Center, therapists create a safe and supportive space where children can explore feelings, work through experiences, and practice problem-solving in ways that feel natural and comfortable.
Coping Skills
Children are still learning how to manage strong emotions. Our child therapy in Cedar Rapids focuses on teaching age appropriate coping skills that help children calm themselves and respond more effectively to stress. These skills support emotional regulation and help children feel more confident handling challenges.
Role Play
Role-playing allows your children to practice new responses to challenging situations with the help of the therapist. By guiding your child through a difficult scenario, the therapist can help your child recognize helpful and unhelpful responses.
Parent Training
Supporting a child also means supporting parents. Therapy includes helping parents understand their child’s behavior and emotions. This support strengthens communication and helps families build more positive and connected relationships at home.
