Colorado Springs Children Therapy

Counseling for children in Colorado Springs, CO – Setting the foundation so your child can thrive

Our children’s well-being and happiness is oftentimes a top priority in families. From school functions, to sports practices, concerts and parties, we spend hours each day shuttling them around town. Not to mention homework, chores, family time, meals…. Raising children is tough work! Raising children is especially difficult emotionally. When they hurt, we hurt. At Thriveworks Colorado Springs, we know there is little you won’t do to set your child up for success. We want the same thing for your child. Let’s set a foundation that will build their self-esteem and confidence, improving their well-being, happiness, and success.

As we are racing through the days with our many activities on our calendars, we often forget to take the time to establish and monitor our children’s emotional health. At Thriveworks Child Therapy Colorado Springs, we believe that children and families can find substantial benefit in meeting with a counselor.

Why choose Colorado Springs Thriveworks Child Therapy?

It’s difficult to see your child facing difficult issues. Thriveworks Colorado Springs Child Therapy is equipped with the skills needed to get your child back to a place they can grow and thrive. The sooner your son or daughter works through the difficult situation with us, the better. Working through a situation early on helps to prevent poor coping habits and prevents a drop in their self-esteem.

Parents will oftentimes bring their son or daughter to therapy, just as they would for a routine dental checkup. The check up with your child is preventive in nature, checking in on their emotional health. Other times, parents will have spent hours weighing options, deciding if help is needed and who to reach out to for help. In either case, know that our therapists are experienced with helping children of all ages and for a variety of concerns.

Families pursue child therapy for many reasons:

  • Difficulty in making and keeping friendships
  • Anger outbursts
  • Lack of confidence and self esteem
  • Eating concerns
  • Autism concerns
  • Difficulty in focusing on schoolwork
  • Discipline issues at school or home
  • Stress and anxiety
  • School attendance concerns
  • Loss of a friend or loved one

We want to be sure to mention that child therapy is used to treat past and present emotional pains, as well as helping your child to grow and develop higher levels of personal development. Growth in compassion and empathy will help them in their social world. Growth in self-esteem will help them cope with mistakes and try new things. Growth in perseverance will help them to hang in there and not give up quickly when things become difficult. All of these areas of development help a child to become resilient, which will help them to have the confidence to overcome whatever life throws at them.

Child Therapy Strategies

It may seem impossible to reason with a 3 year old, but trust us! This is where the counselors at Colorado Springs Thriveworks really shine. We use a variety of techniques to understand what is happening in your child’s minds and how their thoughts and emotions are being played out through their actions.

Jerry was Amazing!

★★★★★
Jerry was amazing! Jerry uses choice theory in order to help his patients grow and work through their problems. Choice theory was helpful through my relationship counseling but also could be used individually to helps each person grow themselves. Jerry used real scenarios in order to water down the theory, making it less scientific and more geared toward individual use. Jerry was patient, helpful, and very understanding.

Thrive has helped my husband so much. He has vestibular issues and it creates bad balance problems. It also has created left side weakness and he has had to use a cane to assist him with walking and stairs. Since being treated at Thrive, he only uses his,cane with stairs now and on occasion when he isn't feeling that well. His balance has improved abiut 65% also.

The best therapists across the Front Range!

★★★★★
I was recommended to Thriveworks by District 11 for my son who is diagnosed with Autism, PTSD, ADHD and RAD. He had a quite abusive life, prior to my adopting him. Directly from the onset of my scheduling his intake to his intake appointment, my spirit felt that this was going to be the correct place for him to be. Rachel, his therapist, is amazing! The entire staff is amazing. Their communication skills are dynamic and Talon is responding so positively; actually more so than he has with any other therapy group. The focus is on his success! Success in overcoming his obstacles and in life. As a therapist, myself, I highly recommend Thriveworks! Empathy, Compassion, Dynamic abilities in using therapeutic tools and in teaching clients how to use and apply them in life.

So thankful

★★★★★
So very thankful I chose Thriveworks and Kara Kays. Our time together was very helpful, and I made great progress. BDT was not like anything I’ve done before. Old way was to talk about the past and what made me who I am, new way is what is happening today, how can I be effective in my relationships today. Loved the learning tools, and I really clicked with Kara. Great experience

Making an appointment

★☆☆☆☆
I’ve never had a more difficult time just setting up an appointment. The lady who took my call seemed to be very inconvenienced with what I needed. There was hostility in her voice when I asked questions that she obviously deemed as common knowledge. When she finally found a counselor for my needs, and we moved to make an appointment, even though I said I would take time off work, she still seemed very rude with wanting to make an appointment. I read the profiles of many of the counselors, and they seem like wonderful people. But because of my initial contact with attempting to make an appointment, I will not be seeing anyone here.
