Helping Kids Build Confidence, Emotional Strength, and Healthy Relationships
At MindLift Alliance, we specialize in children’s therapy and counseling designed to help kids navigate emotions, anxiety, behavior challenges, and life changes. Our experienced therapists use age-appropriate, evidence-based techniques to support children’s emotional and social growth — in a safe, compassionate, and playful environment.
Common Children’s Mental Health Issues We Treat
Our licensed child therapists help children ages 4–12 with a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges, including:
- Anxiety and worries (school anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety)
- Depression or low mood
- Behavioral and anger issues
- ADHD and focus problems
- Low self-esteem or confidence
- Family and sibling conflicts
- Emotional regulation and impulse control
- Bullying, trauma, and grief
- Adjusting to divorce or family changes
We focus on helping children express feelings, improve self-control, and build coping skills — all while restoring peace at home and school.
Our Approach to Child Therapy
Each child is unique — and so is our approach.
Our therapists combine proven methods with creativity and warmth:
- Play Therapy – Children naturally express emotions through play; this helps us understand what they feel and teach new coping skills.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Kids – We help children recognize thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, learning better ways to respond to stress.
- Parent Coaching – We work closely with parents to strengthen communication and consistency at home.
- Social Skills Building – We teach practical skills for making friends, managing conflict, and building empathy.
Signs Your Child Might Benefit from Therapy
If you’ve noticed your child showing these behaviors, therapy can help:
- Frequent meltdowns or irritability
- Withdrawal, sadness, or loss of interest in play
- Sleep or appetite changes
- Difficulty concentrating at school
- Worries or perfectionism
- Defiance, arguing, or school refusal
- Struggles after a major life event (move, loss, divorce)
The earlier children learn to talk about their feelings, the easier it is to build lifelong emotional resilience.
In-Person & Online Therapy for Kids
We offer both in-office sessions (in McKinney, Plano, Frisco, and Allen, TX) and secure telehealth sessions for children and families who prefer meeting from home.
Our warm, child-friendly offices create a space where kids feel comfortable to explore and heal.
