Children & Adolescents Therapy

Childhood and adolescence are critical periods for emotional development, learning, and identity formation. At District CBT, we work with children and teens ages 11 and up who are navigating anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns — providing skills that support growth at home, at school, and in social settings.

We use evidence-based, age-appropriate therapy tailored to each child’s needs. Sessions prioritize building trust, communication, and emotional understanding so young clients feel safe, supported, and capable of making meaningful change.

· Social Anxiety: Helping children and teens gain confidence in social situations, manage fear of judgment, and develop social skills. 

· Phobias: Addressing intense fears, from animals to specific situations, using gentle exposure techniques. 

· Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Supporting children and adolescents in reducing compulsive behaviors and intrusive thoughts through structured cognitive-behavioral therapy. 

· Generalized Anxiety: Teaching strategies to manage excessive worry, nervousness, and stress in everyday life. 

· Depression: Helping young people cope with low mood, loss of interest, and negative thinking patterns while building resilience and coping skills.

· Child and Adolescent Specialists: Our clinicians have extensive training in working with children and teens. 

· Family Involvement: We involve parents and caregivers in therapy to support progress and strengthen coping strategies at home. 

· Evidence-Based Practices: Treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Therapy are carefully tailored to each client’s developmental level.

Early support can change the trajectory of a young person’s life. If your child or teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, or related challenges, District CBT is ready to help guide them toward confidence and emotional wellness.
