Child Therapy in Frisco, Texas
In-Person Child Counseling in Frisco: Navigating Big Emotions and Building Confidence at Home and School
When a child is struggling emotionally or behaviorally, it often affects the entire family. You may notice frequent meltdowns, big emotional reactions, difficulty at school, or changes in mood or behavior that feel hard to understand or respond to. These challenges are often signs that a child’s nervous system is under more strain than they can manage on their own.
I offer child therapy through in-person sessions in Frisco, Texas for children ages 5 and up. Therapy is developmentally appropriate and grounded in relational and play-based approaches that support emotional regulation, communication, and coping skills while helping parents better understand how to support their child at home and school.
Christian faith integration is available for families who want it and is always parent-led and guided by the child’s comfort level.
Is This the Right Support for My Child?
Child therapy may be a good fit if your child:
Experiences frequent emotional outbursts, meltdowns, or low frustration tolerance.
Appears overwhelmed by everyday routines, expectations, or transitions.
Has difficulty managing their behavior or keeping up with tasks at school and home.
Struggles to express their internal needs, emotions, or impulses.
Finds it difficult to remain flexible when plans or routines change.
When behavioral strategies alone are no longer helping, it can feel unclear how to support your child without increasing stress or conflict. I help families move toward a sense of steadiness by addressing the underlying strain on a child’s nervous system.
What’s Actually Driving the Struggle?
Child therapy moves beneath the surface to explore the patterns contributing to your child’s distress, including:
Difficulty identifying or communicating internal feelings.
A limited toolkit of coping or calming strategies.
Overwhelming stress affecting their behavior at school or home.
Challenges with flexibility, problem-solving, or social connection.
Lingering strain within the family or relational system.
Rather than focusing on quick behavior correction, we look at what your child’s behavior is communicating. By addressing the underlying needs of their nervous system, we help them feel safer, more regulated, and more capable of handling daily life.
What Changes When Therapy Is Working?
Child therapy slows things down so skills can develop at a pace that feels manageable and supportive. Over time, this work helps children build:
Stronger emotional regulation and deeper coping skills.
Clearer communication with parents and caregivers.
Increased confidence when navigating daily challenges.
Healthier, more connected peer and family relationships.
A lasting sense of emotional safety and stability.
The focus is on steady, sustainable growth. Rather than chasing quick fixes or short-term compliance, we work toward changes that allow your child—and your entire family—to feel more at ease.
How This Process Is Structured
Our work is collaborative and transparent, ensuring you understand the process and the value of care. This typically includes:
A parent consultation to understand history, concerns, and goals
Individual sessions using developmentally appropriate, play-based approaches
Ongoing parent collaboration and guidance throughout the process
Care coordination with schools or other providers when appropriate
Sessions are designed to help children feel safe rather than pressured, ensuring that the progress made in therapy translates into lasting change at home.

A Specialized Approach to Your Child’s Care
Choosing a private-pay child therapy model means your child’s care is guided by their unique needs, not by insurance requirements. This approach provides the time and flexibility to get to the heart of what’s actually happening, ensuring their story remains private and their support stays deeply personal.
Parents who choose this specialized support are often looking for more than just a quick fix for surface behaviors. They are seeking a thoughtful, consistent space where their child can do the real work of building internal steadiness and emotional resilience that lasts.
