Specialties
Approaches
CBT for kids
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps children identify unhelpful thought patterns, manage emotions, and build coping skills. At IBW, our therapists use kid-friendly techniques to improve confidence, reduce anxiety, and strengthen family relationships.
play therapy
Play therapy gives children a safe, interactive space to express feelings they may not have words for yet. Through therapeutic playrooms, our counselors foster emotional growth, problem-solving, and self-expression in ways that feel natural to kids.
ART THERAPY
Art therapy uses creative techniques—drawing, painting, and other mediums—to help children and teens explore emotions, regulate stress, and build resilience. This process encourages self-awareness and provides an outlet for healing when words aren’t enough.
