Helping Kids Build Confidence, Emotional Strength, and Healthy Relationships
Children don’t always have the words to describe how they feel—
but through play, they can express emotions, explore their world, and heal from challenges.
At MindLift Alliance, our licensed child therapists use Play Therapy to help children manage anxiety, build emotional strength, and develop healthy communication skills. 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. We serve families across McKinney, Allen, Plano, and Frisco, TX, offering a warm, safe environment where children can play, learn, and grow.
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 is a developmentally appropriate form of counseling for children ages 4–12.
- Instead of relying on conversation alone, children use toys, art, and storytelling to express their thoughts and feelings.
- Play Therapy helps children:
- Understand and express difficult emotions
- Improve problem-solving and self-control
- Build empathy and communication skills
- Develop confidence and resilience
- Strengthen relationships with parents and peers
- It’s a powerful way to help children heal—using the language they know best: play.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Kids – We help children recognize thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, learning better ways to respond to stress.
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.
