welcoming child clients for in-person 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 they play. As the late Garry Landreth noted, "Toys are children's words and play is their language".

At Mindful Matters, we offer a warm, thoughtful space where young clients can explore emotions, build confidence, and work through life's big challenges — at their own pace, in their own way. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based play therapy techniques, family systems, and deep respect for each child as an individual.

Play therapy gives children the language they need before words arrive. We follow their lead and create meaning together.

Healing doesn't happen in isolation. We partner with parents and caregivers throughout the process to support the whole family system.

Our in-person space is thoughtfully designed to feel welcoming and calm — a room where children feel safe enough to be exactly who they are.

We offer a free consultation to help you decide if Mindful Matters is the right fit for your family. Spaces are limited as we open this chapter of care.
