Child Therapy in Montebello and Newport Beach CA

The best gift we can give a child is the chance to heal while still being free to be a child

Child Therapy – Keeping Children Young at Heart

At The Couples Therapy and Reunification Counseling, we believe children should be free to laugh, play, and explore—even while working through life’s toughest challenges. That’s why our clinic is built around a child-centered approach, where healing doesn’t take away childhood joy, but instead protects and nurtures it.

We help children stay young at heart by creating a safe, playful space where they can process big feelings in ways that feel natural to them. Instead of overwhelming children with “adult talk,” we meet them at their level—through creativity, imagination, and connection.

Our therapists integrate proven, child-friendly modalities such as:

  • Play Therapy – allowing children to explore emotions and build coping skills through the language of play.

  • Art Therapy – giving kids the freedom to express feelings through creativity when words are hard to find.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) – adapted for children to gently process trauma and reduce anxiety in a safe, age-appropriate way.

  • Attachment-Focused & Family Work – strengthening the parent-child bond and restoring trust within the family system.

  • Family Systems Approach – understanding that children don’t exist in isolation, we work with the entire family to strengthen bonds, repair trust, and create healthier dynamics.

Our mission is to help children heal while protecting their laughter, curiosity, and innocence, so they can grow resilient, confident, and still joyfully young at heart.

At The Couples Therapy and Reunification Counseling, children are at the heart of everything we do. We believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and free to just be a kid—even in the middle of life’s hardest challenges.

Our child therapy services are playful, compassionate, and deeply therapeutic, designed to help children express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable. Through evidence-based approaches and age-appropriate techniques, we support children in:

  • Expressing big feelings they may not yet have the words for.

  • Building coping skills to manage anxiety, sadness, or anger.

  • Healing from trauma or conflict while maintaining their sense of wonder and play.

  • Strengthening bonds with parents and caregivers through child-centered family work.

We are a child-centered clinic, our mission is to protect the joy of childhood while guiding little hearts toward healing, resilience, and hope.

When children step into our care, they enter a safe space where they can still laugh, play, and grow because keeping children young at heart is just as important as helping them heal.
