Children & Teen Therapy

Helping children and teens succeed emotionally and behaviorally requires more than just talking—it requires engagement, creativity, and family involvement. At Center for Mental Resilience, we provide highly effective children and teen therapy in California through secure telehealth, using play-based and developmentally appropriate tools to keep kids engaged and motivated.

Our telehealth program is intentionally designed to capture the attention of children and teens while actively involving parents and caregivers. We focus on behavior, emotional regulation, communication, and family connection—because lasting change happens when the whole system is supported.

Why Our Telehealth Program Works

Telehealth therapy for children and teens can be just as effective—often more effective—than in-person sessions when designed correctly. Our clinicians use interactive tools, play therapy techniques, and creative interventions that meet children where they are, keeping sessions engaging while building meaningful emotional and behavioral skills.

Play-Based & Interactive Therapy

We incorporate play therapy, games, visual tools, and creative activities to help children express emotions, build coping skills, and stay engaged in therapy. These tools make therapy feel approachable and effective rather than intimidating or boring.

Behavior & Emotional Regulation

Therapy focuses on improving behavior, emotional regulation, impulse control, and communication skills. Children and teens learn how to manage big feelings, reduce outbursts, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress and frustration.

Parent & Family Involvement

Parents and caregivers are actively integrated into the therapy process. We collaborate with families to reinforce skills at home, improve parent-child relationships, and create consistency—because parent involvement is one of the most effective predictors of positive outcomes in child therapy.

Who Child & Teen Therapy Is For

Child and teen therapy is appropriate for children and adolescents experiencing behavioral challenges, emotional difficulties, anxiety, mood concerns, school-related stress, or family conflict. Therapy is tailored to each child’s developmental stage while supporting the family as a whole.
