Child Therapy & Counseling in the North Shore and Chicago.
Helping kids build confidence, resilience, and emotional strength,
Is your child struggling with anxiety, behavior issues, or changes at home? At Lake Shore Therapy Group, we specialize in child therapy in Northfield and the greater Chicago area, offering a safe and supportive space for kids to grow emotionally, socially, and academically.
Changes Can Be Hard.
As a parent, seeing your child struggle can be overwhelming. Whether they’re facing challenges with anxiety, behavior, or navigating life changes, our child therapy services provide a safe space for growth and healing.
Why Child Therapy Matters.
Children often express their struggles through behavior, making it challenging for parents to understand what’s wrong. Our experienced child therapist helps kids navigate:
Anxiety and worry (including school anxiety)
Behavioral problems (tantrums, defiance, aggression)
ADHD and focus issues
Social skills development (making and keeping friends)
Coping with changes (divorce, new siblings, grief)
Our Approach
We use evidence-based techniques like play therapy to help children express themselves, process emotions, and develop tools for managing challenges. Each session is tailored to your child’s unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and engaged.
Our Child Therapist is dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for your child to express themselves, and develop tools and skills to thrive at school and at home. We are a client-centered practice, which means we tailor each session to the client’s needs. There is no “one way” to approach therapy. Therapy is a wholly collaborative effort, and highlighting a client's strengths and unique qualities can help empower them to take the lead in their own healing journey.
