Helping children and parents reduce anxiety, strengthen relationships, and build calm, confident homes.
When Stress, Tantrums, or Anxiety Affect Your Family
When your child is struggling — with tantrums, anxiety, or school stress — the whole family feels it. At Love, Listen & Play, we help children and parents find calm, confidence, and connection through evidence-based therapy that meets you where you are.

🌱 Curious how therapy could help your family?
At Love, Listen & Play, therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. We take time to understand your story — what’s happening now, what’s worked before, and what your goals are for your family.
Our process usually includes:
- Understanding Your Family’s Story: We start with compassionate listening and assessment to understand your challenges, strengths, and goals.
- Creating a Personalized Plan: Using evidence-based methods like play therapy, cognitive-behavioral tools, and parent coaching, we tailor sessions to fit your needs.
- Building New Tools Together: You’ll learn strategies to improve communication, manage emotions, and foster empathy — tools you can use long after therapy ends.
- Seeing Change and Growth: Over time, you’ll notice calmer routines, stronger relationships, and greater confidence — for both you and your child.
