COMPASSIONATE CHILD THERAPY - NEAR THOUSAND OAKS, CA
Child Therapy with Julie Klamon, LMFT - Serving Thousand Oaks
As a marriage and family therapist, I have over two decades of experience supporting children and teens. I help young people eight and older face challenges such as anxiety, depression, bullying, family changes, and trauma. I aim to create a warm, nurturing space where children feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, processing emotions, and learning practical skills to thrive.
My office is conveniently located in nearby Agoura Hills, just a brief trip from Thousand Oaks. I am committed to helping children and families throughout the area, offering the flexibility to meet in-person at my welcoming office or take advantage of secure virtual therapy sessions from the comfort of your home anywhere in California.
Child-Centered Therapy Techniques Tailored to Their Needs
Children often communicate more readily through creative outlets rather than words alone. To facilitate their expression and growth, I incorporate the following techniques in our sessions:
- Play therapy
- Expressive art
- Mindfulness activities adapted for children
- Therapeutic games
Through our work together, children develop a toolkit of practical coping strategies to regulate emotions and navigate challenges, empowering them to thrive in their relationships and pursuits.
Children's Therapy FAQ
Does my child need therapy?
Therapy can be helpful if your child is experiencing mental health difficulties that impact their daily functioning. Signs to look out for include persistent anxiety, sadness, low self-esteem, social struggles, or difficulty adjusting to major life events like divorce, loss, or trauma.
Will I be participating in my child's therapy?
Parental involvement is typically encouraged, with the level of participation tailored to your child's age and treatment goals. I meet with parents regularly to provide updates, guidance, and strategies to support your child's progress at home.
Therapy to improve parenting skills
Alongside my work with children and teens, I offer parenting therapy to help caregivers navigate the joys and challenges of raising young people. Whether you seek to strengthen family bonds, improve communication, set healthy boundaries, or manage stress, I provide a safe space for exploration and growth.
During parenting therapy sessions, I work with parents to identify and address any issues they are having with their children, as well as to develop strategies for building strong and supportive relationships. This can include assisting parents in setting boundaries, communicating effectively, and dealing with stress and conflict.
Parenting therapy can benefit families with children of all ages. Together, we can work to enhance your confidence, effectiveness, and fulfillment as a parent while fostering a nurturing home environment.
