At Alfrey and Pruitt Counseling, we understand that children and teens face unique challenges and require specialized care. Our team is dedicated to providing effective, compassionate therapy services tailored to the needs of our younger clients and their families. We offer services to children and adolescents of all ages, from early childhood through the teenage years.
Serving All Age Ranges
We believe it's never too early or late to seek help. Our therapists are experienced in working with children as young as three years old, adolescents, and teenagers up to 18 years old. We understand each age's unique developmental stages and challenges and tailor our approach accordingly.
Play Therapy and Specialized Services
Play is a natural language for children, providing a comfortable medium to express their feelings and experiences. Our play therapy services offer a therapeutic method for children with emotional and social difficulties caused by trauma, mental illness, or developmental delays. We use play to help children develop and improve self-expression, communication, emotional regulation, self-esteem, social skills, creative problem-solving, stress management, and self-control.
