Child Therapy
in Georgia
At Tiny Planet Counseling, child therapy is developmentally informed, play-based, and relationship-centered. We create a safe, supportive space where children can express themselves, understand their emotions, build coping skills, and feel more confident.
Because children often communicate through play, behavior, and creativity, therapy sessions may include play-based activities, creative expression, emotional regulation tools, and age-appropriate coping skills.
Caregivers are an important part of the child therapy process. Depending on your child’s needs, sessions may include parent check-ins, parent coaching, and caregiver collaboration to help skills carry over at home, school, and everyday life.
We support children experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, behavioral concerns, ADHD, stressful life experiences, grief, family changes, divorce, school stress, and major transitions.
Our goal is to help children feel understood, supported, and better equipped to navigate big feelings, relationships, and the world around them.

No. Your child’s privacy matters, too. The therapist will usually share a general summary of themes, progress, and ways you can support your child, but not every detail of what your child says in session. If your child is in danger of hurting themselves or someone else, or if there are safety concerns, the therapist will involve you and take the appropriate steps to help keep your child safe.
