Helping Kids & Teens (Ages 8-17) Thrive with EFT & CBT
At Heartwood Marriage & Family Wellness, we understand that childhood and adolescence
come with big emotions, growing responsibilities, and major life transitions.
That’s why we created Kid Korner—a safe, nurturing space where kids and teens can explore
their feelings, develop healthy coping skills, and build confidence in themselves and their
relationships.
Our Approach to Supporting Kids & Teens
Our approach focuses on compassionate, evidence-based therapy that meets kids where they
are, helping them navigate stress,
anxiety, and emotional challenges in a way that makes sense to them.
Our Therapy Friends at Heartwood 🌟
We are proud to collaborate with Ur Friend Nicky and other therapy friends of
Heartwood to provide engaging, creative, and
effective therapeutic support tailored specifically for kids and teens. Through these
partnerships, we offer a holistic approach that
combines mental health support, mentorship,
and emotional wellness resources to help
children thrive
