We are so happy with the experience we’ve had at Child Therapy Center, and we especially love Cassidy. We have seen such a huge change in our 9-year-old (anxiety, ADHD). She had a great school year, her emotional intelligence and regulation has sky-rocketed, and she has become braver and more confident. But the best review? Our daughter LOVES “Cassidy days.” She wakes up in the morning on session days and exclaims, “I get to see Cassidy today!”

Our daughter (10 year old) worked with Child Therapy Center for a year and it was the best decision we could have made for her. Her therapist was very insightful and supportive, skilled at assessing and then addressing our daughter’s needs, and we can truly say that she is thriving with the help of the tools and support she received here.

We are so grateful for Child Therapy Center of LA and therapist Sherrie. We are only three months in, but have had a weight lifted through Sherrie’s supportive approach (not only for our kiddo, but us as parents).

I really appreciate the way they support the whole child by focusing on the mind body connection. They also don’t overly focus on a diagnosis and that is super helpful for providing deeper support.

We have had a wonderful experience at CTC. Our therapist, Brege, has equipped my daughter with wonderful tools to address her anxiety and ever changing emotions. I would highly recommend this facility to any parent looking to get their child the extra help they may need.

The best child therapy practice in Los Angeles helps families connect

We get it.

Watching your child struggle is hard.

We know you want to be a confident parent of a healthy child. In order to do that, you need to understand what's really going on and how to help them thrive.

The problem is that most therapy focuses only on managing symptoms instead of getting to the root cause.

This can leave you feeling helpless and worried about their future.

We believe every parent deserves to wake up feeling confident about their child's emotional wellbeing. Through serving hundreds of families, we've helped parents just like you understand what makes their kids tick so they can truly flourish.
