Youth Counseling is therapy specifically geared toward children. Child therapists have specialized training because children need treatment that is very different from adults. Therapy techniques such as play, art, and drama may be used in child therapy. Children may or may not engage in talk therapy depending on maturity and verbal ability. Children can learn and grow through therapy as they process trauma in indirect ways in a safe and non-threatening environment. Parental involvement may be part of the therapeutic process depending on the specific topic.
