Either of these situations is hard to manage and can make it hard to function.
Our anxiety therapists can help you and your child overcome anxiety with child therapy for anxiety and worry. We use strategies like play therapy and attachment-based models to help the brain. This helps the body relax and find peace and calm.

The JS Therapy Group Approach to Anxiety Treatment in Overland Park, KS, Leavenworth, KS, and Liberty, MO
We have several approaches to anxiety. Depending on your needs and the type of anxiety you are experiencing.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Anxiety
Used for trauma and PTSD, EMDR can also be helpful in reducing anxiety. First, we start by envisioning the thing that makes you feel anxious. Then, we use eye movements to help your anxiety become less sensitive to the thing that’s causing it. We can also visualize how you would like to handle the thing that makes you feel anxious. Then, the next time you are in that situation, your mental picture helps to calm you and give you a sense of control.
Play Therapy and anxiety
In-play therapy, we use play to help children (and teens) process their anxiety. Play helps to make therapy fun. Therefore, children and teens actually look forward to counseling. Children communicate best through play, therefore, using play can help children and teens put words to their internal experience and ultimately experience anxiety relief. If you’re worried about coming into our office, we also offer online play therapy. Receiving help for child therapy for anxiety and worry doesn’t need to be stressful.
Family Therapy and anxiety
At times it is also appropriate for family members to also attend therapy, even for adult clients. The entire family enables the individual struggling with anxiety to have a support person at home. Family members can also be a source of anxiety. By improving the family system, we can help to reduce anxiety. Family counseling in Overland Park, KS, Leavenworth, KS, and Liberty, MO can help to relieve this dynamic. We also offer online family therapy in Kansas if this would offer a safer and more accessible balance for your loved ones.
We provide services to all individuals, couples, and families without discrimination on the basis of race, age, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, disability, gender, health status, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, or relationship status.
