Child Play & Art Therapy
Keeping Them Young at Heart
At our child-centered clinic, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and free to shine as their true self. We know life’s challenges can feel heavy on young hearts, especially in times of stress or conflict. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing space filled with care, understanding, and hope, a place where healing feels natural, empowering, and even joyful.
Through play, art, sand tray, and other creative therapies, children can safely express their feelings in ways that feel natural, playful, and fun. Alongside these, we use evidence-based approaches like EMDR and trauma-informed care to gently support healing, helping children not just work through challenges, but grow with their spirit bright, strong, and resilient.
Our goal is to help each child:
• Build healthy boundaries
• Find and use their voice by being assertive when communicating
• Identify and express their emotions
• Grow confidence and coping skills
• Stay connected to their sense of wonder and joy

Client Testimonials About Therapy in Montebello, CA
“I never thought I’d see the day when my child and I would be in the same room again, let alone laughing together. The pain of separation felt impossible to overcome, but reunification therapy changed everything. It gave us the tools to rebuild trust, heal old wounds, and truly reconnect. Now, we have a relationship I never thought possible. If you're feeling hopeless, don’t. This process works.” Jane
"Our home was filled with tension, and every conversation turned into an argument. We felt like we were drifting apart. Family therapy helped us break down walls, understand each other’s emotions, and create a home filled with love and respect again. We don’t just co-exist, we support, listen, and genuinely enjoy each other now. I only wish we had started sooner!" Max
“We were at a breaking point, barely speaking, constantly arguing, and feeling more like roommates than partners. Therapy helped us truly hear each other for the first time in years. It gave us the tools to communicate, understand our triggers, and rebuild the love we thought was lost. Now, our marriage is stronger than ever, and we’re actually excited about our future together." Grateful Couple
