🧸 Trauma Therapy for Children at The Counseling Corner

Heal from Trauma with Compassionate, Evidence-Based Care for Kids in a Safe and Supportive Space

Trauma can deeply affect a child’s developing brain, body, and sense of safety—but with the right help, it doesn't have to define their future. Whether your child has experienced abuse, neglect, bullying, a frightening accident, medical trauma, the loss of a loved one, or a painful life event, our child trauma therapists are here to help them heal—gently, safely, and effectively.

Since 1998, The Counseling Corner has supported children and families throughout Central Florida with trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate care that helps kids feel safe, seen, and strong again.

Our licensed, full-time therapists are trained in specialized trauma therapies and trauma-informed therapies designed to support children with deep healing—gently, safely, and effectively.

Your Child’s Story Matters. Healing Is Possible.

Children don’t always have the words to explain how trauma affects them. Instead, they may show it through behavior, emotions, sleep, school struggles, or withdrawal. You may notice your child:

  • Is more irritable, fearful, or sad than usual

  • Has trouble sleeping or frequent nightmares

  • Avoids places, people, or situations

  • Becomes clingy or overly independent

  • Struggles with outbursts, shutdowns, or panic

  • Seems “different” than before the event

These are not just “bad behaviors.” They are your child’s way of saying: “I don’t feel safe.”

At The Counseling Corner, we create a nurturing, playful, and evidence-based environment where children can process their pain and build resilience at their own pace.

Trauma can impact a child's thoughts, feelings, and relationships with others. They may feel stuck in survival mode—haunted by memories, hypervigilant, disconnected, or overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, shame, or fear. We provide a safe, supportive space where their story is honored and their healing journey is respected.

How Trauma Therapy Helps Children Heal

Our licensed child therapists are trained in trauma-specific therapies that help children:

  • Feel safer in their bodies and environments

  • Express feelings through play, art, and movement

  • Process painful experiences without being re-traumatized

  • Reduce flashbacks, nightmares, and emotional reactivity

  • Learn calming strategies and healthy coping tools

  • Rebuild trust in relationships

  • Strengthen their self-worth, identity, and emotional resilience

  • Support children struggling with behavioral and emotional responses to trauma

We also work closely with parents and caregivers—because your involvement is key to your child’s healing journey.

🛠️Proven Trauma Therapies That Work with Children

We tailor every session to your child’s age, needs, and comfort level using proven trauma treatment approaches, including:

  • TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): A structured, evidence-based model designed to help children and caregivers process trauma together

  • Play Therapy, Child Therapy, & Creative Expression: Developmentally appropriate methods that allow children to “speak” through play, art, and storytelling

  • CBT Therapy for Kids: Helps children understand and manage their trauma-related thoughts and behaviors

  • EMDR & ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), where appropriate for children/teens: Specialized therapies that gently reprocess trauma without reliving it

Our trauma therapists are fully licensed, trauma-trained, and committed to providing care that is emotionally safe, age-appropriate, and rooted in compassion.
