Infant and Early Childhood (Ages 0-5)

Many people are surprised to learn that mental health treatment exists for infants and toddlers. However, early intervention can be crucial in recognizing and addressing emotional or behavioral challenges before they become more significant. At this stage, a child’s brain is highly adaptable, making therapeutic interventions especially effective and long-lasting. Research, including randomized controlled trials, has shown that early childhood therapies improve both child and caregiver well-being.

What to Expect

Therapy sessions involve both the child and caregiver, focusing on:

  • Understanding and responding to each other’s cues
  • Strengthening the caregiver-child bond
  • Talking and playing through difficult experiences
  • Improving the child’s sense of safety and emotional security
  • Creating a family story to support attachment and resilience

Who Can Benefit?

These treatments are most effective for young children who:

  • Have witnessed or experienced trauma
  • Exhibit significant behavioral challenges
  • Struggle with secure attachment to caregivers
  • Are part of foster or adoptive families
