At Transformative Growth, our child therapy services provide personalized, attachment-based support to help children manage anxiety, behavioral issues, and emotional challenges. Our experienced therapists use evidence-based techniques to empower children and families alike.
In child therapy, your child and their therapist will embark on a journey of self-discovery and emotional growth. Therapy provides nurturing, neutral and supportive space for children to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By using age-appropriate therapies and activities like play, talk, art, movement and creative expression, our dedicated child therapists and BCBA providers help children navigate challenges, build coping skills, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves.
We focus on attachment-based child therapy, )even in ABA / Autism based interventions) which emphasizes building strong, healthy relationships as the foundation for emotional well-being. Our tailored sessions empower children to manage big emotions, foster healthy relationships, and thrive in all areas of life.

Ready schedule?
As a parent, it’s natural to wonder if your child could benefit from therapy. Understanding the signs can help guide you on this journey. Is your child experiencing sudden changes in behavior, such as becoming withdrawn or unusually irritable? Are they struggling with academic performance or showing signs of anxiety or depression? Difficulty in social interactions or experiencing traumatic events can also indicate a need for extra support. By recognizing these signs and reaching out for help, you can provide your child with the tools and resources they need to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
Every parent has questions. We’re here to answer them and make the process feel as easy as possible for you and your child.
Some signs to look for include sudden changes in behavior, increased irritability or withdrawal, difficulty in school, trouble with friendships, signs of anxiety or depression, or if your child has experienced something traumatic. You know your child best — if something feels off, trust that instinct. Reaching out for a consultation is always a great first step, and our team is happy to help you figure out whether therapy is the right fit.
We work with children and teens of all ages. Our therapists are trained to meet kids where they are developmentally and use age-appropriate approaches — from play therapy and creative expression for younger children to talk-based and skills-focused work for older teens.
We work with children and teens navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, behavioral challenges, trauma, school refusal, social difficulties, identity, self-esteem, stress, and more. If you’re not sure whether what your child is experiencing is something we can help with — just reach out. Chances are we can.
Not at all. Our therapists are skilled at building trust and comfort before going anywhere difficult. For younger children especially, therapy often looks like play, art, or movement — not sitting on a couch talking. We always follow the child’s lead and never push them faster than they’re ready to go.
We use a variety of evidence-based, age-appropriate approaches including attachment-based therapy, ABA, play therapy, creative expression, movement, and trauma-informed care. Every child’s treatment plan is personalized — we don’t apply a one-size-fits-all method.
Yes — parental involvement is an important part of the process for most children. Your therapist will keep you informed and engaged in a way that supports your child’s progress. The level of involvement depends on your child’s age and specific needs, and your therapist will walk you through what that looks like from the start.
Yes — we have BCBA providers on our team who offer ABA therapy for children with autism and related developmental needs. Visit our ABA Therapy page to learn more or reach out and we’ll help guide you to the right fit.
Yes — we accept insurance for child and youth therapy services including BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, United Health Care, Medicaid, and Medicare. Coverage depends on your individual plan. Give us a call at (630) 423-6010 or email us at Contact@transformativegrowth.org and we’ll run a benefits check before your child’s first appointment.
Finding the right fit matters enormously — especially for children. If your child isn’t connecting with their therapist, just let us know and we’ll work with you to find someone better suited to their personality and needs. We want your child to feel safe and comfortable above everything else.
Yes — we offer telehealth in addition to in-person sessions. Telehealth can work really well for older children and teens, and coverage depends on your insurance plan. When you reach out we’ll confirm what’s available and help you figure out the best setup for your family.
