Child Therapy in Houston, TX
When your child is struggling, it can feel overwhelming and confusing. You may notice changes in behavior, mood, or school performance — and wonder how to help. At Brittani Persha Counseling, our child therapy services in Houston provide children and adolescents with a safe, supportive space to work through their thoughts and emotions. With the guidance of a specialized child therapist, children can better understand their feelings, resolve challenges, modify behaviors, and make positive, lasting changes. You don’t have to navigate this alone — we’re here to support both you and your child every step of the way.
A Note to Parents
If you’re here, you may be feeling worried about your child.
Maybe you’ve noticed changes in their behavior, mood, or school performance. Or maybe you simply sense that something isn’t quite right.
Seeking support does not mean you’ve failed as a parent — it means you care deeply about your child’s well-being.
Children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling. With the right guidance and a safe space, they can learn to understand their emotions, express them in healthy ways, and build stronger coping skills.
At Brittani Persha Counseling we’re here to support your child — and you — every step of the way.

- Behavioral challenges, anger issues, or emotional outbursts
- Trauma, PTSD, or experiences of abuse (including physical, sexual, or domestic abuse)

How Our Child Therapists Help
Children communicate differently than adults. Sometimes they don’t have the words to explain what they’re feeling — but they can show us through play, art, and interaction.

- Play Therapy – Helping children express emotions through play.
- Art Therapy – Using creative activities to communicate feelings.
- Sandtray Therapy – Helping children express emotions using miniatures and sand.
- Theraplay – Therapeutic play that builds stronger parent-child connections

- Dialectical Behavioral Play Therapy (DBT) – Teaching children healthy coping skills through guided play.
