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.
Common Concerns We Help With
Many families we work with in Chicago seek child therapy for challenges such as:
Childhood anxiety, fears, or worry (separation anxiety, social anxiety, general worries)
Behavioral challenges (anger, impulsivity, defiance)
School-related stress (trouble focusing, peer issues, academic pressure)
Family transitions (adoption, divorce, blended families, moves, new siblings)
Grief and loss (death of a loved one, medical issues, traumatic events)
Self-esteem and confidence struggles (trouble making and maintaining friendships)
Our fully licensed Chicago child therapists specialize in helping children and families navigate these challenges with compassion and practical tools.
