Nurturing Young Minds: Support for Children and Families

At Ethos Wellness, we are profoundly committed to fostering the emotional health, resilience, and holistic development of children ages 11 and under. We understand that childhood is a time of immense growth, but also a period when unique challenges can arise, impacting a child’s well-being, learning, and family dynamics. Our integrated children’s mental health services are designed to provide compassionate, developmentally appropriate, and evidence-based support, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.

We believe that early intervention and tailored therapeutic approaches can significantly shape a child’s path, building confidence, emotional insight, and strong social connections that last a lifetime. Our dedicated team of compassionate therapists, psychiatrists, and specialists works hand-in-hand with families, recognizing that a child’s mental health is deeply tied to their home environment and support systems.

Our Core Children's Services

Ethos Wellness offers a broad range of services for children ages 11 and under, designed not only for those facing challenges but also for families who want to support their child’s growth and development proactively. Below is an overview of our specialized services:

Childrens Therapy

Children's Therapy

Our individual therapy for children provides one-on-one sessions tailored to a child’s unique personality and developmental needs. Utilizing child-centered play therapy, we help young clients process emotions, build resilience, and develop social and emotional skills using play as a natural medium.

We address areas like anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma, ADHD, and behavioral issues. Parental and caregiver involvement is a key component, reinforcing skills at home and contributing to family-wide healing.

Children's Group Therapy at Ethos Wellness

Children's Group Therapy

Our Group Child Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT) offers a safe, supportive environment for children to explore emotions, build social skills, and learn coping strategies together. In small groups, participants practice real-world application of DBT skills like mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach fosters peer connection, reduces feelings of isolation, and helps children develop confidence and feel less alone.

Childrens Play Therapy at Ethos Wellness

Children's Play Therapy

Individual play therapy is a developmentally appropriate, evidence-based therapeutic service that allows young clients to express emotions, process trauma, and learn new coping strategies in a safe and creative space. Sessions involve imaginative play, storytelling, art, sand trays, and role play, guided by trained therapists. It helps build emotional regulation, enhances self-esteem, processes grief and trauma, and improves communication and relational confidence.

Children's Outpatient Therapy at Ethos Wellness

Children's Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Through structured, therapist-led skills groups, you’ll discover the tools to effectively navigate life’s challenges. These include communication techniques to strengthen relationships, coping strategies to manage difficult emotions, and mindfulness practices to calm anxious thoughts. 

Our open process groups allow you to share your story, gain perspective, and experience the healing force of being heard, understood, and accepted.
