Therapy for Teens and Children in Folsom California
Help Your Child Ease Anxiety and Cope with Stress
Confidence| Calm| Resilience
When your child or teen is struggling you will do everything you can to help them get back on track. But there are times as a parent when you do everything you can think of and nothing helps. Or when really there isn’t anything you can do to make it better.
Whether you are getting calls home from the school, hearing about problems from your child, or watching them struggle emotionally, witnessing your child suffer is one of the hardest parts of being a parent.
Especially when you don’t know how to help.
We all have dreams for our kids and when it seems like they might not reach those or even find happiness. When it feels like nothing either you or your child does makes a difference. This is when it’s time to reach out for help.
At Soul Journey Therapy we support children and teens struggling with;
As a parent you want to know that your child has all the skills they need to be successful in this world.
You want to know that they are going to be able to navigate anything that life throws their way, even if they struggle a bit. You want to know they can get past it and get the support they need.
You want your child to be able to reach any goal that they set.
To be able to find the happiness we all seek.
The core of child or teen therapy is building a relationship with another trusted adult where your child can explore who they are.
This creates a safe space where your child will learn and develop healthy skills so that they can do their best in this world. In this safe space, they will learn about themselves. About relationships and communication. They will figure out their strengths and weaknesses so they can learn about who they really are as a person.
As the parent you will be taught how to foster open communication, empathy, and understanding, while also encouraging accountability, learning, and growth. By learning to provide a supportive and nurturing environment, you can help your child or teen navigate their challenges with confidence and resilience. Really what we all want for our children.
The child and teen therapy at Soul Journey Therapy is specifically tailored to your child.
There are some things that we cover with most of our clients like emotion identification, coping skills for overwhelming emotions, and self-esteem. We’ll also work on identifying healthy relationships, setting boundaries, and communication skills.

Child and Teen Therapy Specialties
When it comes to working with children and teens we have several groups that we specialize in these groups are;
Neurodivergent kids and teens (ADHD, or Autism)
It can be so overwhelming to watch our kids when they are struggling at school whether it’s academically, socially, or all of the above. At Soul Journey Therapy we will help your child to cope with and appreciate their differences so that things are easier for them in their day-to-day lives. We’ll help your child increase their executive functioning and social skills as well as help them to learn emotional coping skills for when they are experiencing overwhelming emotions.
As the parent, we will support you and walk you through the best way to support and encourage your child while also fostering independence.
Kids and teens who have experienced trauma
When your child has been through a traumatic experience whether it is bullying, a natural disaster, or abuse of some kind it’s hard to know how to help. But at Soul Journey Therapy we have two life-changing tools to help heal trauma. EMDR and Brainspotting are both helpful and effective with kids. Please check out our trauma page to learn more.
Parenting Support
There are times when we hit a wall when it comes to parenting. A wall where we’re stuck on how to respond or our own past getsC in the way of doing what we know is right. Other times we just don’t know what is the right thing to do.
You just don’t know how to help your child be their best self. Or how to be the best parent to them.
With parenting support, we help you find the parenting style that fits you and your child best. We help you get out of your own way and heal your past so you can be the best parent possible.
Group Therapy for Children and Teens
Sometimes your child might get the most out of therapy when there are others present who are experiencing the same thing. Check out our group page to see what we have to offer.
