Is your child having big meltdowns, strong emotions, or behavior that feels out of control?
Do they seem more upset, clingy, or not like themselves lately?
You may feel worried, exhausted, or unsure how to help.

For many children, these behaviors are signs of something deeper.
When a child goes through something overwhelming—like trauma, loss, or changes at home—they often can’t explain it with words. Instead, it shows up through tantrums, shutdowns, or ongoing struggles at home and school.

When this keeps happening, it can leave parents feeling stuck and alone.

The good news is—your child can heal, and change is possible.

Play therapy is one of the most effective ways to help young children work through big feelings. Instead of talking, children use play—their natural language—to express what they’ve been through and begin to feel safe again.

At Stone Oak Counselors in San Antonio, I specialize in play therapy for young children and have extensive experience working with children who have experienced trauma, attachment wounds, and caregiver separation.

In our work together, I will gently help your child process their experiences through play while also supporting you as a parent. We will identify what is triggering your child’s behavior, build emotional regulation skills, and create simple, clear ways for you to respond at home with confidence.

You won’t be left guessing what to do—we will work as a team.

With the right support, your child can feel calmer, more secure, and more connected—and your home can feel more peaceful again.
