The early years are full of big emotions, rapid development, and new challenges for both children and parents. At Young Sprouts Therapy, we specialize in child therapy for ages 6 & under, using a combination of Play Therapy, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Theraplay to support emotional, social, and behavioral growth. Our approach is child-centered, using creative, play-based methods to help children:

- Regulate big emotions like anxiety, frustration, or sadness
- Improve social skills and peer interactions
- Develop confidence and self-expression
- Work through life transitions (new sibling, school adjustment, separation, etc.)

We know that young children thrive best when their parents feel supported too. That’s why our approach includes parent coaching & counselling to help you:

- Understand and respond to your child's emotions and behaviors
- Strengthen the parent-child bond through connection-based strategies
- Learn effective tools to manage tantrums, defiance, and emotional outbursts
- Build a nurturing, structured home environment that promotes growth

What to Expect:

- Parent Intake Session – We start by learning about your child’s unique strengths, struggles, and family dynamics.
- Therapy Sessions – Sessions are interactive, using play, music, movement, and creative expression to engage your child in a natural, developmentally appropriate way.
- Ongoing Parent Support – We provide check-ins, coaching, and practical strategies so you feel confident applying what your child is learning in therapy at home.

Whether your child is experiencing emotional challenges, social difficulties, developmental concerns, or behavioral struggles, we’re here to help them feel safe, understood, and empowered.
