Kids & Teens Therapy in Seattle
Growing up can be complicated, especially when anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, relationships, school stress, or family challenges begin to feel overwhelming. At Morina Counseling, therapy gives kids and teens a supportive space to feel heard, understood, and accepted while they work through what they are carrying.
We offer therapy for kids and teens in person at our Seattle office and through telehealth appointments across Washington State.
Your Struggles Are Real. So Is the Path Forward.
Therapy is not just for moments when everything is falling apart. Kids and teens may need support when emotions feel too big, relationships feel confusing, school feels stressful, or something painful has happened.
For parents and caregivers, it can be difficult to know what to do when a child or teen seems anxious, withdrawn, angry, overwhelmed, or unlike themselves. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive place for young people to talk, process, build tools, and feel less alone.
At Morina Counseling, our therapists work with kids and teens with patience, warmth, and respect for where they are developmentally, emotionally, and personally.

A Safe Space to Talk, Process, and Grow
Therapy for kids and teens should feel supportive, not intimidating. Your child’s therapist will take time to build trust, understand what is going on, and create a space where the young person can feel comfortable being honest.
Depending on age, needs, and goals, therapy may include conversation, skill-building, emotional processing, coping tools, family support, communication practice, and support around relationships, identity, trauma, anxiety, depression, or stress.
For younger clients, therapy may also involve parent or caregiver collaboration when appropriate. For teens, therapy can provide a private and respectful space to explore what they are experiencing while also helping families understand how to support them.
What to Expect from Kids & Teens Therapy
1. Start With Understanding
Your therapist will begin by learning more about what brings your child or teen to therapy, what concerns have come up, and what kind of support may be most helpful.
2. Build Trust and Comfort
Therapy works best when young people feel safe and respected. The therapist will take time to build rapport and help the client feel more comfortable in the process.
3. Develop Tools and Language
Therapy can help kids and teens better understand their emotions, communicate what they are feeling, and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, stress, conflict, or big emotions.
4. Support Growth Over Time
Progress may look different for every child or teen. Therapy can help young people build confidence, resilience, self-understanding, and healthier ways of moving through difficult experiences.
