Our Approach
Regulation First.
Healing Follows.
At Xenia Counseling, we recognize that many emotional and behavioral struggles are connected to how the nervous system responds to stress.
​
Our therapists utilize evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's needs, incorporating tools that help create safety, regulation, and meaningful growth.
Depending on the child's needs, treatment may include:
-
Trauma-informed therapy
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Mindfulness-based approaches
-
Parent collaboration and support
-
Neurofeedback
-
EMDR and ART (when appropriate)
-
Strengths-based interventions
Parent Involvement
Supporting the Whole Family
Parents are an important part of the therapeutic process.
​
While your child's privacy is respected, we often work collaboratively with parents to provide education, tools, and guidance that support progress outside of sessions.
​
Our goal is to help families feel more connected, confident, and equipped to navigate challenges together.
