Child Therapy in Chicago

At Chicago Therapy Corner, we provide child therapy in a supportive space where children can work through big feelings, challenges, and life transitions in a safe and playful environment. At our Chicago based child and family therapy practice, we use play therapy and creative expression to help kids communicate when words are hard to find. Play becomes the language of therapy, allowing children to explore emotions, solve problems, and develop healthy coping skills.
