Counseling
for children and teens navigating illness, injury, grief, and loss
When Counseling Might help
Maybe this sounds familiar… Your child has been quieter since the diagnosis. They're carrying grief they don't have words for. Or maybe the weight of a parent's illness, or losing someone they love, has started to show up in their everyday life.
Counseling can be especially helpful when a child or teen is:
Grieving the death of a parent, sibling, or loved one
Coping with their own illness, injury, or medical treatment
Affected by a parent's or sibling's diagnosis or hospitalization
Struggling with anxiety, fear, or sadness rooted in medical or loss experiences
Adjusting to a new version of family life after illness or loss
Our counselors use conversation, creative play, and practical strategies to help kids process what they're going through in ways that feel safe and natural for them.
Ages Served
Our counseling services are available for children and teens ages 8 and up.

Our counselors walk alongside kids and teens as they navigate illness, injury, grief, and loss, helping them feel understood, supported, and more in control.
