Childhood Anxiety Therapy in Santa Clarita
It’s hard watching your child worry all the time. Maybe they’re having trouble sleeping, avoiding school, clinging to you more than usual, or getting overwhelmed by things that didn’t used to bother them. You might hear them say things like, “What if something bad happens?” or “I can’t do it”—and you just want to help them feel calm and confident again.
At The Garden, I specialize in helping children navigate anxiety in a way that feels gentle, playful, and effective. I use evidence-based approaches rooted in child development to help your child gain tools to manage their big feelings and begin to face their fears with courage.

HOW THERAPY HELPS
In our sessions, I use developmentally appropriate techniques—like play, storytelling, and visual supports—to help your child understand what anxiety is and how to manage it. I incorporate elements of:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for kids
Play-based interventions
Parent support and coaching
Together, we help your child feel more in control of their thoughts and feelings, and we guide you, as the parent, to better understand and support your child at home and in daily life.
