You Know Something Is Wrong.
You Just Don't Know What To Do Next.

That feeling—the one that brought you here—is clinical instinct. Trust it. Here is what it looks like inside most homes before families find us:

01

The Child Who Used to Run Toward Life Now Retreats From It.

Stomachaches before school. Friendships fading. A kid who's right there but somehow unreachable. Psychotherapy for children with anxiety doesn't teach them to cope with the fear. It dismantles the clinical mechanism generating it.

02

The Child Who Is Trying Harder Than Anyone Realizes & Losing.

Notes from teachers. Homework battles every night. A kid who is not broken but is starting to believe they are. Effective psychotherapy for ADHD in children goes beyond behavior management. It rebuilds the self-concept that ADHD quietly erodes.

03

The Relationship With Food That Is Becoming Something Darker.

You noticed it. You weren't sure whether to say something. Then you did and it got harder. Psychotherapy for eating disorders in children and adolescents requires clinical specificity that a generalist therapist cannot safely provide. Ours can.

The Types of Psychotherapy for Children and Adolescents We Use & Why Each One Works.

Therapy fails when the wrong method meets the wrong child. At Yes Psychotherapy, every treatment plan starts with one question generalist clinics skip: What does this specific child actually need?

Regulation-Focused Psychotherapy for Children (RFP-C)

Regulation-focused psychotherapy for children targets the emotional dysregulation beneath the surface behavior the reason they explode before they think, or shut down before they speak. Relationally grounded. Developmentally precise. Built to extend beyond the session room into your home.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (IPT-A)

Teenagers struggle in relationships with friends, family, identity, loss. Interpersonal psychotherapy for adolescents directly targets these relational fault lines as the mechanism of clinical change. Among the strongest evidence bases for adolescent depression available today.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

The most rigorously tested psychological intervention for young people in existence. CBT rewires the thought-emotion-behavior loop driving anxiety, depression, and dysregulation. Not the popular choice, the evidentially correct one.

Integrative & Individual Psychotherapy for Children

Rigid single-method therapy is a clinical limitation. Individual psychotherapy for children at Yes Psychotherapy means a plan built entirely around your child, drawing from every validated framework our licensed therapists are trained across.
