Child Therapists with Immediate Openings
Finding timely, high-quality mental health support for children can feel overwhelming. At Emerge Therapy, we’re committed to making the process easier for families. We’re excited to share that we currently have immediate openings for child therapy in Minneapolis and St. Louis Park.
Hi, I’m Megan! I work with kids, teens, and adults, offering both individual and family therapy in a warm, supportive space. With a background as a school counselor, I understand the challenges young people face and support concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, relationships, school struggles, grief, and trauma.
What to Expect
Play is the language of children. Their minds do not yet have the ability to think abstractly about how they are feeling and put it into reflective words. They can more efficiently and effectively show their anxiety by having something scary happen in play than when asked directly why they are upset. The job of the therapist is to listen to the play like a conversation and respond in a child-focused way that builds mastery and insight into strong feelings.
Play is the gateway to the thoughts and feelings of children; it is not inconsequential or frivolous. In fact, parents should be encouraged that when you play with your children, you are doing so much more than entertaining. You are helping to form brain structures, memories, and language that will serve them well. It is also sometimes the case that having a parent join in play during a therapy session is just the thing that is needed to keep the growth going.
