Our team of dedicated therapists specialize in working with children ages 5-17, providing a safe, non-judgmental space for them to express their feelings and develop healthy coping strategies.

Our Approach

When your child is struggling, it can leave you feeling helpless, frustrated, and heartbroken. You want to understand what’s going on, but nothing seems to work—and watching your child feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or misunderstood takes a toll on the whole family.

At Tennessee Mental Wellness, we specialize in helping children (ages 5 and up) feel seen, supported, and safe enough to begin healing. Our expert child therapists use a blend of evidence-based approaches—including play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Brainspotting—to support emotional regulation, resilience, and healing from trauma.

  • Individualized therapy tailored to each child's unique needs
  • An eclectic approach incorporating play, art, movement, music, and poetry
  • Trauma-informed care for children who have experienced medical trauma or other difficult life events
  • Support for children with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and other neurodiverse diagnoses
  • Collaboration with parents to provide tools and strategies for understanding and supporting their child's needs.

Support for Behavior Challenges

Big feelings, impulsivity, outbursts, defiance—behavioral challenges like these often leave parents feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to help. We work with kids who are navigating ADHD, anger, and emotional dysregulation using developmentally appropriate therapy methods such as play therapy, CBT, and Brainspotting. We also help parents understand the root of these behaviors and provide practical, compassionate strategies to support their child at home and in the community.

Support for Struggles in School

When children struggle in school—academically, socially, or behaviorally—it can affect their self-esteem and motivation. We help children who are misunderstood, mislabeled, or falling through the cracks. Our therapists collaborate with parents to identify needs, build advocacy skills, and navigate school systems, especially when a child may require accommodations or support for ADHD, learning differences, or emotional challenges.

Support for Children Who Have Experienced Trauma

Trauma can deeply affect a child's sense of safety and emotional well-being. Whether the trauma is recent or long past, our therapists are trained in trauma-informed approaches like Brainspotting to help kids process what they’ve been through in a safe, supportive environment. We work gently to rebuild emotional safety, trust, and resilience so children can move forward without being defined by their past.

Support for Kids With Anxiety 

Children with anxiety may have worries that interfere with school, friendships, sleep, or daily routines. We help anxious kids feel safe, calm, and confident through evidence-based therapies like CBT and play-based interventions that teach coping skills and emotional regulation. We also equip parents with tools to support their child and create a more calming environment at home.

What to expect?

We know how daunting it can feel to seek therapy for your child. That’s why we create a warm, welcoming environment where your child feels heard and supported from the very beginning. Our therapists bring years of experience in connecting with children and helping them process emotions in a healthy, developmentally appropriate way.

We also work closely with parents through parent coaching, offering tailored insight, strategies, and support—so you feel empowered, not alone, in helping your child thrive. And when your child is struggling in school or has been labeled a “behavior problem,” we’ll help you navigate those systems and advocate for the resources and support they deserve.

Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, anger, trauma, low self-esteem, social challenges, or emotional outbursts, we’re here to help.

If your child is struggling, you don't have to face it alone. Contact TN Mental Wellness today to schedule a consultation and learn how our compassionate therapists can support your child and family on the path to healing and growth.
