Teen and child therapy in Lehi, Utah
When your kid is struggling, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our adolescent and child therapists help children and teens work through trauma, big emotions, and tough behavior — with care that’s gentle, age-appropriate, and built around your family.
Adolescent therapy that meets your child where they are
Every child wants to grow up healthy and well-adjusted — but kids and teens run into things they can’t always work through on their own. Our adolescent and child therapy in Lehi gives them the support, language, and safe space to start feeling better.
Kids don’t always have the words for what they’re going through, and they don’t process the world the way adults do. That’s why our child and adolescent therapists are trained to use approaches that actually land with younger clients — from play therapy that helps little ones open up, to evidence-based methods like ART, EMDR, DBT, and CBT for older kids and teens.
The issues young people face are wide-ranging, and so is our care. We help children and teens identify, explore, and work through everything from childhood trauma and anxiety to emotional and behavioral difficulties and communication struggles. Our on-site psychologist can also perform assessments and diagnose mental health concerns that often show up during childhood.
It starts with an intake. Once you bring your child in for their initial session, we take time to match them with a therapist whose style, experience, and personality genuinely fit your child — because the right relationship is what makes therapy work. If you’re weighing other options, our family therapy and individual therapy services can complement your child’s care, and you can browse everything we offer on our therapy services page.
What we help kids and teens work through
Children and adolescents come to us with all kinds of challenges. Here are some of the areas our therapists support most often.
Childhood trauma
Hard experiences can stay with a child long after they happen. We use gentle, proven approaches like ART and EMDR to help kids process trauma and feel safe again.
Emotional & behavioral difficulties
Big feelings, meltdowns, withdrawal, or behavior that’s hard to manage at home or school — we help your child understand what’s underneath it and build healthier ways to cope.
Communication issues
When a child can’t express what they’re feeling, frustration builds for everyone. Therapy gives them tools to put words to their experience and connect with the people who love them.
Adolescent sex & pornography addiction
These are sensitive, often isolating struggles for teens. We provide a judgment-free space and specialized support to help adolescents work through compulsive behaviors.

A few of the things parents ask us most often.
Is therapy right for my child?
Almost any child or adolescent can benefit from therapy, as long as they’re open-minded about trying new things. Our therapists use a variety of techniques, including play therapy, to help children feel comfortable opening up and expressing themselves.
How much does child therapy cost?
Sessions are $125–$200, depending on the therapist your child matches with and the methods they use. There’s also a one-time intake and initial assessment for $150. You can see full details on our therapy services page.
How long will my child be in therapy?
It depends on what your child is working through and the approaches we use. It’s common for children to spend around 12–16 weekly sessions, though this can vary based on their circumstances.
What if my child doesn’t want to go?
That’s normal, and you’re not stuck. Our therapists use different techniques to help kids feel more comfortable, and sometimes it’s simply a matter of matching your child with a therapist who’s a better fit. We have resources and contingencies that can help.
Will I be involved in my child’s care?
Yes. We work with you to understand your child’s needs and keep you connected to their progress, while giving your child the space they need to feel safe. If your family could use support too, ask us about family therapy.
