Therapy for Children (Ages 6–12) in Ontario

Big feelings in small bodies can be hard to understand—but they’re never too small to matter.

Whether your child is anxious, withdrawn, sensitive, acting out, or having a hard time adjusting to life changes, therapy can help. At Soul Prism Therapy, I work with children ages 6 to 12 using play-based, expressive, and emotion-focused approaches.

Children may not always have the words to explain what’s going on, but their behavior is always communicating something.

Your child may benefit from therapy if they:

  • Struggle with anxiety, low mood, or frequent worries

  • Have difficulty with friendships, boundaries, or school transitions

  • Show signs of perfectionism or fear of making mistakes

  • Are coping with divorce, grief, or family changes

  • Express big emotions in overwhelming or confusing ways

In therapy, we’ll:

  • Build safety and trust through play, art, and creative expression

  • Help them identify and name their emotions

  • Teach emotional regulation and calming strategies

  • Support them in developing self-esteem, resilience, and connection

  • Collaborate with you (the parent/caregiver) to support growth at home

Children don’t need to be “fixed”—they need to be heard, seen, and supported.

Let’s help your child feel more confident, calm, and connected.
