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 health 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

Instead of “How was your day?”, try questions that open the door to real connection 💬✨

Ask things like:
💭 “What made you laugh today?”
🎨 “Did anything surprise you?”
🤝 “Who did you sit with at lunch?”
❤️ “What was something kind you did or saw?”

These questions invite your child to share their world — not just their day.

👉 For more ways to connect with your child, check out Guidance from The Therapist Parent at www.thetherapistparent.com or on Amazon.

We all wish setting a limit looked like:
➡️ “No” → instant cooperation

But in real life?
Setting a limit is rarely a straight line — and it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s because children learn boundaries through connection, not compliance.

A realistic limit-setting moment might look like:
✔️ pushback
✔️ big feelings
✔️ validation
✔️ holding the limit
✔️ getting curious
✔️ working with your child, not against them

And eventually… cooperation arrives.

If it feels messy, emotional and repetitive — that’s parenting.
Limits stick best when they’re delivered with calm, empathy and consistency… not perfection.

✨ You’re not failing. You’re teaching.
