Child Therapy in East Lansing, MI

by Amy Campbell, LMFT, Founder of Campbell Therapy

Kids don't always have the words to explain what they're feeling — it often shows up instead through behavior, mood, or changes at school or home. Child therapy gives kids age-appropriate tools to understand and express their emotions. We work with children and families throughout East Lansing.

Why Families Seek Child Therapy

Parents often reach out for support with things like:

  • Big emotions or frequent meltdowns

  • Anxiety or excessive worry

  • Behavior changes at home or school

  • Difficulty with friendships or social skills

  • Trouble adjusting to family changes (divorce, a new sibling, a move)

  • Grief or loss

  • Trouble sleeping or changes in appetite

  • Attention or focus difficulties

What to Expect

Child therapy often looks different from adult therapy — it may involve play, art, or other age-appropriate methods that help kids express themselves in ways that feel natural to them. Parents are typically involved in the process too, since consistency between sessions and home makes a big difference.

At [Practice Name], we offer [e.g. play therapy, child-focused CBT, etc.] for children in the East Lansing area. [One sentence on your approach or what a first session looks like.]
