Small Steps Child Counseling, LLC

Small Steps Child Counseling, LLC Let's Take Small Steps Small Steps works with children from birth to 18 years of age with numerous child counseling styles.

Our Approach

Small Steps Child Counseling, LLC provides our youngest members of society and their families with specialized clinical mental health care. Our approach focuses on helping children develop healthy neurological and psychological functioning as well as healthy relationships and resiliency. So much of the latest research on the brain has proven that healthy attachment and early mental h

ealth intervention can impact a person’s life in almost every way: relationships with others, life decisions, physical health, academic functioning and future family dynamics. Small Steps is motivated to reach younger children at a time of life when neurological and psychological functioning is the most impressionable and relationships between caregivers and children can be enhanced to have the most powerful impact on the mental and physical health of that child. Our approach serves not only children, but their parents and caregivers as well:

For young children in unhealthy situations, we provide a range of mental health counseling styles to help children succeed and move on to become healthy, full functioning adults. For parents and caregivers we inform and empower through psycho-education, training, listening and recognizing strengths. Small Steps works to help parents succeed in relationship with their children. Contact Us

When we respond with acceptance instead of correction, we support regulation, confidence, and wellbeing.
