Child Therapy in Reno, NV

Children aren't able to process the world the way adults do. Long before they have language for their feelings, they often express needs through behavior, emotion, and play. As the late Garry Landreth noted, "Toys are children's words and play is their language." 

At Mindful Matters, we provide a warm, thoughtful space dedicated to family-centered care, where young clients can explore emotions, build confidence, and work through life's big challenges — all through the lens of evidence-based play therapy techniques. Our approach also incorporates elements of trauma counseling, ensuring a deep respect for each child as an individual.

Play therapy provides children the language they need before words arrive, making it a vital component of family-centered care. By following their lead, we create meaning together, which is essential in trauma counseling.

Healing doesn't happen in isolation. We believe in family-centered care and partner with parents and caregivers throughout the process to support the whole family system, utilizing techniques like play therapy and trauma counseling.

Our in-person space is thoughtfully designed to feel welcoming and calm — a room where children can experience family-centered care through play therapy and trauma counseling, enabling them to feel safe enough to be exactly who they are.

We offer a free consultation to help you determine if Mindful Matters aligns with your family-centered care needs. Please note that spaces are limited as we begin this chapter of providing services, including play therapy and trauma counseling.
