Compassionate, Evidence-Based Trauma Care for Children Since 1998

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, medical trauma, an accident, grief, or a frightening life event, our child trauma therapists provide a gentle, structured path toward healing and resilience.

For over 25 years, families throughout Central Florida have trusted The Counseling Corner for trauma-informed therapy that helps children feel safe, seen, and strong again.

Your Child’s Story Matters — Healing Is Possible

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

  • Is more irritable, fearful, or sad than usual

  • Has nightmares or trouble sleeping

  • Avoids places, people, or activities

  • Becomes clingy or unusually independent

  • Struggles with outbursts, shutdowns, or panic

  • Seems “different” than before the event

These aren’t “bad behaviors.” They’re survival responses—your child’s way of saying, “I don’t feel safe.”

At The Counseling Corner, we create a nurturing, evidence-based environment where children can process trauma through play, movement, and connection—helping them rebuild safety and trust at their own pace.

How Trauma Therapy Helps Children Heal

Our licensed child therapists specialize in trauma-focused interventions that help children:

  • Feel safer in their bodies and environments

  • Express emotions through play, art, or storytelling

  • Process memories without reliving the trauma

  • Reduce flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety

  • Develop calming strategies and healthy coping tools

  • Rebuild trust and strengthen relationships

  • Restore confidence, resilience, and emotional balance

We also guide parents and caregivers with tools to reinforce healing at home—because recovery happens faster when the whole family is supported.

Proven Trauma Therapies That Work for Kids

Every child’s story is unique. We tailor sessions to each child’s age, needs, and comfort level using approaches backed by research and results:

  • TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)

    • A structured, evidence-based model helping children and caregivers process trauma together—reducing symptoms and improving communication.

  • Play Therapy & Expressive Arts

    • Developmentally appropriate methods that allow children to “speak” through toys, drawings, stories, and imagination.

  • CBT for Children

    • Teaches emotional awareness, thought management, and behavioral skills to promote self-regulation and confidence.

  • EMDR & ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)

    • Gentle, neuroscience-based techniques that help children and teens reprocess traumatic memories without being overwhelmed by them.

  • Family Therapy

    • Supports healing within the parent-child relationship and strengthens trust, communication, and connection.

Our trauma therapists are fully licensed, trauma-trained, and committed to emotionally safe, age-appropriate, and compassionate care.

FAQs

  • Look for persistent changes like sleep problems or nightmares, new fears or avoidance, increased irritability or sadness, regression (clinginess, bed-wetting), school difficulties, shutdowns, panic, or “different since the event.” These are survival responses—not “bad behavior”—and therapy helps restore felt safety.

  • We use developmentally appropriate, evidence-based methods (TF-CBT, play therapy/expressive arts, CBT, EMDR/ART when appropriate, and family work). Children process overwhelming experiences through play, story, art, and gentle skills practice while we coach caregivers to reinforce healing at home.

  • No. We proceed safely and at your child’s pace. Modalities like TF-CBT use titrated exposure with strong coping tools; EMDR/ART can reduce distress without graphic recounting. Our first priority is emotional safety.

  • Caregiver sessions are built in. We provide coaching on co-regulation, language for talking about hard topics, and home strategies. When children feel supported by calm, informed adults, progress accelerates.

  • Duration varies by child and severity. Many families see meaningful changes within 8–16 sessions; complex trauma can take longer. We set shared goals, track progress, and adjust the plan together.

  • In play therapy, play is the treatment language. A trained therapist structures the environment and interactions to help children express, organize, and resolve difficult experiences while building regulation and coping skills.

  • Yes—secure telehealth is available when clinically appropriate. In-person sessions are offered in Orlando, Clermont, and Orange City/DeLand.

  • Call 407-843-4968 or contact us. We’ll gather background, match you with a trauma-trained clinician, and schedule an intake. Early support can make a big difference.
