Therapy for children and teens using creative, age-appropriate tools to manage emotions and behavior.
Children and teens experience complex emotions—but often struggle to express them. At Awareness Lounge Counseling, we provide developmentally appropriate therapy that helps young clients build emotional skills, improve behavior, and feel understood. Through play, conversation, and creative techniques, we meet them where they are—gently and effectively.
Big feelings can be overwhelming—especially when they show up as outbursts, anxiety, withdrawal, or trouble at school. Therapy offers a supportive space where young clients learn to manage those emotions, communicate better, and grow more confident in themselves.
Patricia Cisnero, MS, LPC, is experienced in working with children and adolescents through a trauma-sensitive, culturally affirming approach that makes therapy feel safe, engaging, and empowering.
